MMAOddsBreaker.com has returned for 2017 and just like last year, we’re keeping a running tally of our staff’s fight picks for all major mixed martial arts (MMA) events. Everyone has a clean slate with the new year, and we’ve returned one staff member to the our picks chart this time around. After five events thus far, Brian Hemminger is alone in first place with an 41-16 mark (71.9%). James Lynch and Nick Kalikas are tied for second with a picks score of 40-17. There were only two unanimous picks out of 11 fights in total (Alistair Overeem and Mirsad Bektic). The most contentious fights were Rashad Evans vs Daniel Kelly (Evans 4 – Kelly 5) and Stephen Thompson vs Tyron Woodley (Thompson 4 – Woodley 5). Without further ado: UFC 209
