Scott Smith’s Top Plays for UFC Shanghai: Nurmagomedov vs. Song

UFC Fight Night: Nurmagomedov vs Song touches down in Shanghai this week, and the bantamweight division takes center stage as Umar Nurmagomedov looks to keep his title aspirations alive and edge closer to a title against durable veteran Yadong Song, fighting in front of his home crowd.

Another home favorite raises the temperature as Aoriqileng meets knockout artist Kai Asakura in a stylistic clash that could end in violent fashion at any moment. Asakura’s heavy hands make him one of this card’s premier finishing threats for DFS lineups. Beyond the top two, this slate is loaded with pick’em-caliber matchups as Yan versus Gomes and Perez versus Su Mudaerji are fights that will separate sharp bettors from the field. With volatile finishing upside at the top and salary-saving value buried in the prelims, building a winning cap-friendly lineup tonight is as much art as science.
