ToutMaster 2016 (presented by MMAOddsBreaker.com and TheMMA-Analysis Podcast) continued with Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 98 event in Mexico City, Mexico. After UFC Fight Night 98, here’s the updated Top 20:
Longtime ToutMaster leader WesReynolds has seen his lead drop to 3.1 points over ManglerBets. He continues to lead, but with the plethora of events in the coming weeks, there are opportunities for a potential change at the top as we enter the home stretch in 2017. Cody Saftic and MattMaher2210 are neck and neck for third place, roughly 15 points back of the overall lead. MakeYouHumble led the event with an excellent score of 13.45 points. He correctly picked 12 of the 13 fights on the card, missing out on only the main event. It was the final fight of the event which prevented him from a perfect score.
