Mont said Alice Ardelean is the only DraftKings side that makes sense in this opener. Dos Santos is 0-3 in the UFC yet sits as a ‑270 favorite and a $9,300 salary—the highest on the slate—despite a ‑375 fight-goes-to-decision prop that caps her ceiling. Ardelean costs just $6,900 and has posted 40 and 48 DK points in her two previous 15-minute outings while landing 4–6 significant strikes per minute and mixing in takedowns plus brief control. Mont argued that if Dos Santos fails to land an early knockout, Ardelean can repeat that 40-point output and smash value, whereas Dos Santos almost certainly cannot reach the 110+ points she needs to justify her price. He will fade Dos Santos completely and sprinkle Ardelean in GPPs as a salary-saver with win equity.
