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 one new staff member to the our special picks chart this time around. After five events thus far in 2016, Jay Primetown and Nick Kalikas are tied in first place with 51-24 overall records (68%). Brian Hemminger and Gabe Killian are tied for third place at 48-27. There were two unanimous picks for this event out of 12 fights in total (Erick Silva and Corey Anderson). The most contentious picks were Jim Miller vs Diego Sanchez (Sanchez 3 – Miller 5) and Amanda Nunes vs Valentina Shevchenko (Nunes 3 – Shevchenko 5). Without further ado: UFC 196
