Clash of Styles, Clash of Scores – Who Wins the Fantasy War?
On May 3, Cory Sandhagen returns to the octagon to welcome former flyweight king Deiveson Figueiredo to a new weight class. It’s a high-stakes bantamweight bout with major fantasy MMA implications.
Fantasy Breakdown
Cory Sandhagen: Long, technical, high-volume striker. Great for fantasy formats that reward distance striking, control time, and decision wins. Historically racks up 90+ points even in tough fights. Deiveson Figueiredo: Explosive, unpredictable, and dangerous early. His power and guillotine threats make him a boom-or-bust pick, ideal for DFS GPPs.
Key Considerations
Figueiredo is moving up in weight — gas tank may hold better, or falter under pressure. Sandhagen is durable and thrives in 5-rounders, making him a fantasy anchor.
