ToutMaster 2016 (presented by MMAOddsBreaker.com and TheMMA-Analysis Podcast) continued with Saturday’s UFC 204 PPV event in Manchester, England. After UFC 204, here’s the updated Top 20:
Longtime ToutMaster leader WesReynolds had one of his best nights of the year, scoring the top individual score for UFC 204 with 13.15 points. He correctly picked 10 of the 11 fights, missing out on only Daniel Omielanczuk who lost to Stefan Struve via submission on the PPV card. With his big night, WesReynolds extended his lead to 5.35 points over ManglerBets. Even more so is the gap back to third place, with CodySaftic 13.35 points out of the lead. As we head into the final two months of the year, this has really turned into a two-person contest at the top of the leaderboard, with everybody else competing for third place.
