UFC Fight Night 75 Fantasy Preview Plus Kountermove Game for MMAOddsBreaker Readers

KountermoveThe mixed martial arts (MMA) fantasy website Kountermove is back with another exclusive game for MMAOddsBreaker.com readers. If you’re not familiar with how the site works, here’s a brief snippet from the site owners, themselves.

Kountermove brings the traditional fantasy format to MMA. Accumulation of points and a salary cap make fantasy MMA more intriguing than your basic “pick ’em” contest. With other industry pros on the site it is the place to be if you know your MMA. The game is fairly simple on its face, games are played over a single night during one event. Prior to the event, players get a total of $25,000 fantasy dollars to pick five fighters for your team. Each fighter is given a specific salary by Kountermove. Kountermove assigns a value for each fighter based on how we believe the fight will go. Points are scored if a fighter scores a finish, wins a round, lands significant strikes, knocks an opponent down, scores takedowns, secures dominant positions or attempts submissions. The more dominant your fighters’performance, the more points you’re going to score. If you score more points than your opponents, then you win the money.

If you’re interested in a few pointers on potential fighters to pick, I’ll be offering my analysis and potential picks to click. In case you have your doubts, I have a very nice track record of success with the website, having won plenty since its inception. Before I get to my picks, remember that to get the best value out of your team, you have to try to get an average of $5000 per fighter with your team of five fighters and your $25,000 salary cap. That means if you want to pick a big favorite from UFC Fight Night 75 like Josh Barnett ($5600) you have to balance it out by picking some underdogs that you think will perform above and beyond. Sometimes it’s not worth it to pick the overwhelming favorite. Without further ado, here are some of the picks that stand out for me: Diego Brandao ($5100): Normally I’d think Brandao was unreliable, but this fight against Kikuno is an ideal match-up for the Brazilian. Kikuno is getting up there in years and his chin is beginning to betray him. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Brandao pick up a quick knockout with his hyper-aggressive style. Underdog Pick of the Night Roger Zapata ($4600): To be completely honest, I don’t like many underdogs on this card, but out of all of them, I feel Zapata has the best chance. This is likely going to be a stand-up fight and Zapata should be the more technical overall striker. I also feel Zapata has the better conditioning of the two. Fighter to Avoid Kyoji Horiguchi ($5300): I expect Horiguchi to win this fight but his counterstriking style keeps him on the edge and will have him less active than the typical flyweight. Also, Chico Camus is pretty underrated overall and should be competitive here. I don’t expect Horiguchi to get a finish here and you can probably get better bang for your buck elsewhere.
