DraftKings DFS Values

Cortney Casey: $7,900
Gillian Robertson: $8,300

Casey comes in at -106 on the money line, while Robertson is the favorite at -118.

Casey’s weigh-in was just bizarre, as she used the “Hoop of Shame” to completely disrobe assuming she’d need every ounce to get under the 126-pound limit, but then came in at 123.5.

Casey is 9-7 in the UFC, making Mara Romero Borella tap on May 16th in Jacksonville. She’s 5-6 in the UFC with three stoppages. “Cast Iron” lands 4.72 strikes per minute and shoots rarely with only 0.34 takedown attempts per 15 minutes.

Robertson is 7-4 career with five submissions and a KO. She’s 4-2 in the UFC and has yet to see the third round in a win or loss. “The Savage” will look to fight on the mat with 3.44 takedowns averaged per 15 minutes. She throws only 2.18 strikes per minute, and her first-round loss to Maycee Barber in October of last year was the only time she’s been TKO’d in her career.

Especially with the awkward and bad weight-cut from Casey, Robertson looks like a play here. She can get the fight on the mat early, and comes in at an average price that can still score you a first round stoppage. We’ll be with the Canadian Robertson, who fights out of American Top Team in Ft. Lauderdale meaning she’ll have the right corner behind her.
