New Year, new contest! MMAOddsBreaker.com has returned for 2016 and just like last year, we’re keeping a running tally of our staff’s fight picks for all major mixed martial arts (MMA) events. Everyone has a clean slate with the new year, and we’ve added two new staff members to the our special picks chart this time around. The winner this year will take home a cool $300. After 41 events in 2015, Brad Taschuk finished standing alone in first place, picking fights correctly at a 63.4% clip. Here are the staff members who will be participating this year along with what they do to help our site: Gabe Killian – MMAOB staff writer James Lynch – MMAOB lead staff writer and host of The Parting Shot Podcast Brad Taschuk – MMAOB staff writer and co-host of The MMA Analysis podcast Brian Hemminger – MMAOB managing editor and co-host of The Premium Oddscast Nick Kalikas – Professional Oddsmaker, owner of MMAOddsBreaker.com and co-host of The Premium Oddscast Jay Primetown – MMAOB staff writer and co-host of The MMA Analysis podcast Brad Wharton – MMAOB feature writer Robert Doxtater – MMAOB feature writer After two events thus far in 2016, Brian Hemminger and Nick Kalikas are tied for first place with a 17-8 overall record (68%). Gabe Killian and Jay Primetown trail in second place at 16-9.
