This is going to be a very interesting card of fights this weekend. We get to see Anderson Silva return to the octagon after a horrific leg break in his last fight. We get to see an interesting fight between two young talented fighters in Tyron Woodley vs. Kelvin Gastelum.

Let’ take a look at the scoring for Draft Kings, so we can assemble the best lineups possible for this week’s fights.

Significant strikes .5 PTS

Advance 1 PT

Takedown 2 PTS

Reversal/Sweep 2 PTS

1st Round Win 100 PTS

2nd Round Win 70 PTS

3rd Round Win 50 PTS

4th Round Win 40 PTS

5th Round Win 40 PTS

Win by decision 25 PTS

You get $50,000 in salary cap money to assemble your roster, so taking certain fighters at the right price in this point system is the goal when you are generating your lineup.

Derek Brunson $11,700

Brunson (12-3) is fighting Ed Herman (22-10). Brunson is a heavy favorite in this fight because Herman is on the downside of this career and he will have trouble keeping up with Brunson.

Nick Diaz $8,300

This is going to be an interesting fight. Both Diaz and Silva are back from long layoffs. It’s hard to tell if the injury Silva suffered in his last fight will affect him in this fight. I’m adding Diaz to my lineup because he is dirt cheap, and he is a very busy fighter. Even if he loses, he will score points with his striking.

Joe Lauzon $9,200

Joe Lauzon (24-9) will have a tough task fighting Al Iaquinta (10-3). I’m picking Lauzon because like Diaz, he is very affordable. Lauzon has a good chance to win this fight because he is very dangerous with his ground game.

Ian McCall $10,900

Ian McCall (13-4-1) is a heavy favorite against John Lineker (24-4). I chose McCall for my lineup because I like his price and I feel that the odds are very good that he won’t get upset in this fight.

Tyron Woodley $9,700

Woodley (10-3) is facing a young up and coming Kelvin Gastelum (10-0). Woodley is considered the underdog in this fight, but I feel he has a good chance at winning. Woodley is very experienced and has fought some really good fighters like Carlos Condit and Rory MacDondald, so he has a good chance at winning this fight. At $9,700 he is very affordable and very easy to plug into my lineup.
