MMAOddsBreaker.com has returned for 2015 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 added three new staff members to the our special picks chart this time around. After 18 events thus far in 2015, Vegas Matty still has a stranglehold on first place with an 134-71 record (66%), while Brad Wharton trails in second place at 128-77. There were only three unanimous picks for this UFC 188 event out of 11 fights (Henry Cejudo, Kelvin Gastelum and Cain Velasquez). The most contentious picks for this event were Efrain Escudero vs Drew Dober (Escudero 5 – Dober 4) and Gilbert Melendez vs Eddie Alvarez (Melendez 4 – Alvarez 5). Without further ado: UFC 188
