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 20 events thus far in 2015, Vegas Matty still has a grip on first place with an 145-82 record (63.8%), while Brad Wharton trails in second place at 143-84. For the first time this year, there were no unanimous picks for this UFC Fight Night 70 event out of nine fights. The most contentious pick for this event was Hacran Dias vs Levon Makashvili (Dias 5 – Makashvili 4). Without further ado: UFN 70 Staff Picks
