DraftKings Cage Breaker pick for UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway 2

Tonight, UFC 329 is taking place in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena. Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway 2 headlines this event, with the card also featuring a high-stakes lightweight bout between Benoit Saint Denis and Paddy Pimblett.

For UFC 329, DraftKings is running a new promotion, “Cage Breaker”. For Cage Breaker, if you pick the fighter who has the fastest finish on the UFC 329 card, you win a share of $500,000. Check out my pick for tonight’s Cage Breaker promotion on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Cage Breaker Pick: Gable Steveson (-1100 To Win by Finish)

My pick for the Cage Breaker promotion at UFC 329 is Gable Steveson. Steveson begins his UFC career as one of the greatest prospects to step foot in the Octagon. That is because he is an Olympic Gold Medalist, four-time Big Ten Champion, and two-time NCAA Division 1 National Champion in wrestling. But throughout his first three MMA fights, he has shown versatility, with all three victories coming by KO/TKO. Also, all of them have occurred in the first round, including a 24-second knockout. His opponent, Elisha Ellison, has a 5-2 record with five finishes but is coming off a loss to Brando Pericic. Both of Ellison’s losses have come in the first round. 

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Steveson is the largest favorite on the UFC 329 card at -1600. Also, Steveson is -1100 to win this contest by finish. With Steveson’s well-rounded skill set, aggressiveness, and elite cage awareness, he has all the tools to score a quick finish once again.
