๐ฅ UFC FREEDOM 250 โ CourtEdge Premium Breakdow The White House ยท Washington, DC ยท 7 fights ยท Main card Sun 8:00 PM ESTTwo title fights (TopuriaโGaethje LW, PereiraโGane for the vacant HW belt), a CPT/MVP slate, and five massive favorites. Only 1,634 possible lineups exist โ so your edge isn't volume, it's who you captain and which fight you stack.
โญ CORE PLAYS (the floor of every build)
Ilia Topuria โ $9,600 ยท 146 proj ยท -560 17โ0, #2 pound-for-pound, 7 finishes. Power speed edge on everyone; under 2.5 rounds is -335. Highest finish rate on the card (70%, 39% R1). He'll be the chalkiest fighter on the slate and he's still elite in every format. Captain him or leverage off him.
Josh Hokit โ $9,000 ยท 157 proj (slate high) ยท -435 Highest DK projection on the board. Former All-American wrestler, brutal pace (~12 sig strikes/min vs Blaydes), real power. Lewis's only path is early; if Hokit survives minute one, his pace breaks Lewis down โ slate-high 46% R1 finish. Highest floor ceiling combo. Note: Hokit Topuria is the chalkiest pairing โ keep it in safe builds, not leverage ones.
Steve Garcia โ $6,600 ยท 86 proj ยท 130 DOG The most important name on the slate. The only underdog who out-projects his favorite in the model. 7-fight win streak, 6 KOs, elite pressure southpaw with real FW power. At $6,600 he's the value that funds your studs AND the leverage captain that wins tournaments. The dual-purpose play of the night.
๐ฏ CAPTAIN LEVERAGE BOARD (where tournaments are won)
With 5 chalk favorites, the field piles into Topuria/Hokit/Ruffy captains. Separation comes from dog captains:
Steve Garcia (CPT $9,900 ยท ~42%) โ best blend of leverage realistic win. Top dog captain.
Kyle Daukaus (CPT $9,300 ยท ~27%) โ Nickal has forgotten how to shoot twice (Craig, de Ridder KO). R1 power both ways.
Aiemann Zahabi (CPT $8,700 ยท ~21%) โ likely lowest-owned on the slate; O'Malley fight has best odds to go the distance. Pure ownership leverage.
๐ FIGHT-STACK CHEAT SHEET
With 5 wide moneylines, a decision-LOSER can outscore favorites who get starched early โ so both fighters can hit the optimal:
โ
Pereira / Gane โ both โค$7,600, true pick'em, both have cardio. Best stack on the board.
โ
Lopes / Garcia โ pace-up brawl, Garcia highest dog in the model.
โ
O'Malley / Zahabi โ best odds to go the distance; Zahabi ownership makes it contrarian.
โ ๏ธ Topuria / Gaethje โ only small-field, Gaethje as min-salary saver.
โ Ruffy/Chandler, Nickal/Daukaus, Hokit/Lewis โ wrestle-or-starch. Pick a side.
โ THE FADE
Don't over-build the chalk core. Ruffy (-625), O'Malley (-480), Nickal (-335) will be heavily owned. Rostering all five favorites a chalk captain is the lineup that ties for 1st with 800 people for $500 โ or finishes mid-pack when one favorite gets clipped. Pay for the two best (Topuria, Hokit), buy leverage everywhere else.

(DK CPT slate: 1 Captain at 1.5ร salary 5 FLEX, $50,000 cap. Build these in the CourtEdge MMA DK Lab โ you set the captain final pieces, the lab ranks and exports your DK CSV.)
๐ก๏ธ LOW-RISK โ Single Entry / Cash
Captain: your highest-floor finisher โ Topuria or Hokit. Swing the captain across your SE bullets for both-outcome exposure.
Core: anchor both elite favorites (Topuria Hokit), add the cheap Pereira/Gane pick'em stack, and use Garcia as the value dog.
Salary: max it ($49.7Kโ$50K). Chalk-embracing, high floor โ not contrarian.
๐ HIGH-RISK โ 150-Max / GPP
Captain: rotate the leverage dogs โ Garcia โ Daukaus โ Zahabi across the portfolio.
Core: keep Topuria/Hokit as a safety net, then layer a second fight stack (Nickal/Daukaus or Topuria/Gaethje).
Leverage: near-max salary, spread both sides of the pivotal fights across the 150, and sprinkle Zahabi (~8% owned) as a sub-10% dart in a few lineups (MME only, never SE).

๐ง THE TAKEAWAY
Generational watch, brutal DFS slate. Anchor the two best (Topuria, Hokit), take the cheap Pereira/Gane stack to fill salary, and let your captain choice set your risk. Safe SE = chalk captain, high floor. Tournament 150-max = Garcia/Daukaus/Zahabi captains a second fight stack. If a dog captain lands, you're alone at the top of 1,634 lineups. That's the whole edge tonight.
