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 Fight Night 43 tomorrow morning (June 28, 2014). After 18 events, James Lynch holds a slim lead in first place, picking fights correctly at a 66.4% clip thus far this year. With just four unanimous picks across the board on these 10 fights in total, the standings will likely be shaking up. Without further ado: UFC Fight Night 43
