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 on Fox 11 today (April 19, 2014) which features a heavyweight battle between Travis Browne and Fabricio Werdum. After 10 events, Brad Taschuk stands alone in first place, picking fights correctly at a 67.2% clip thus far this year. With only four unanimous picks across the board on this 13-fight card, the standings could be in store for a shake-up. Without further ado:
