4 years agoJohn Dodson (21-11) steps into the Octagon for the 17th time on Saturday night. The Magician showed he still has some magic in the hat, defeating hot prospect Nathaniel Wood in his last bout by third-round knockout. Dodson averages 3.30 significant strikes per minute while landing 96% of those strikes either standing or in the clinch. He also has a very solid 80% takedown defense, which will prove important against an opponent who averages nearly eight takedowns per contest. If Dodson is going to pull off the win Saturday, it's going to come by catching his opponent as he did with Wood. DraftKings has Dodson listed at $7,500, while he has averaged 69.0 points per contest while in the UFC.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
