UFC 281 Main Card Picks on DraftKings Sportsbook

The UFC returns to Madison Square Garden in New York City for UFC 281 on Saturday. The card is headlined by an intriguing middleweight title bout between champion Israel Adesanya and challenger Alex Pereira. Adesanya has nearly cleaned out the middleweight division, but Pereira presents a difficult stylistic matchup. The two have history, as Pereira beat Adesanya twice in kickboxing matches and has the elite striking base to give Adesanya a big matchup problem.

During the last UFC PPV at UFC 280, a DraftKings Sportsbook bettor made a big profit with the help of Aljamain Sterling. The bettor turned $27.08 into $3,005.88 by placing this Same Game Parlay (SGP) on DraftKings Sportsbook at +5500 odds along with a 100% profit boost:

• Aljamain Sterling Moneyline
• Aljamain Sterling Total Significant Strikes, Round 1: 20+
• Total Takedowns, Round 1: 1+
• Most Significant Strikes: Aljamain Sterling
• Exact Method of Victory- KO/TKO/DQ

Sterling landed 30 significant strikes in Round 1, recorded three takedowns in Round 1, finished with 72 significant strikes as opposed to TJ Dillashaw's eight, and won by KO/TKO, so the bettor successfully cashed their Same Game Parlay bet and took home a profit of nearly $3K.
