Something new we at MMAOddsBreaker.com decided to do for 2014 is to keep a running tally of our fight picks for all major mixed martial arts (MMA) events. It all began with UFC Fight Night 34 at the beginning of the year and it continues with UFC 171 today (March 15, 2014) which features a welterweight title fight between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler. After six events, James Lynch is in first place, picking fights correctly at a 71.8% clip thus far this year. With only three unanimous picks across the board on this massive 13-fight card, the standings could be in store for a shake-up. Without further ado:
