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 175 tonight (July 5, 2014). After 20 events, James Lynch holds a slim lead in first place, picking fights correctly at a 66.0% clip thus far this year. With just three unanimous picks across the board on these 11 fights in total, the standings could be in for some big moves, especially with another event coming on Sunday. Without further ado: UFC 175

*Both Brian and Nick switched their picks from The Premium Oddscast to Robertson and Brimage respectfully following more research and the UFC 175 weigh-ins. Everyone also has a draw and a no contest on their record due to the Johnny Bedford vs Rani Yahya and the Norman Parke vs Leonardo Santos bouts. Follow along on 2014 to see who pulls ahead!
