We are back, and we are live! Chris, Joe, and Drake return with an in-depth breakdown of the entire UFC 311 fight card on the RotoWire MMA YouTube channel. The crew will discuss the best DFS value plays, cash locks, and GPP darts to give players the best chance at profit. The main event was thrown into disarray when Arman Tsarukyan announced Friday that a back injury will prevent him from taking on Islam Makhachev. This led to the cancelation of Renato Moicano's fight with Beneil Dariush, as the Brazilian will now challenge the lightweight champion in the new five-round main event. This will be preceded by dominant bantamweight titleholder Merab Dvalishvili as a significant underdog when he takes on undefeated phenom Umar Nurmagomedov. Tune in and chat live during the show to have your questions answered!
