MMAOddsBreaker.com has returned for 2016 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 one new staff member to the our special picks chart this time around. After 21 events thus far in 2016, Nick Kalikas is in first place with a 165-90 overall record (64.7%). Jay Primetown, is in second place at 160-95. There were four unanimous picks out of 11 fights (Wilson Reis, Jorge Masvidal, Nikita Krylov and Robbie Lawler). The most contentious pick was Cesar Arzamendia vs Damien Brown (Arzamendia 4 – Brown 4). Without further ado: UFC 201
