MMAOddsBreaker.com has returned for 2015 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 three new staff members to the our special picks chart this time around. After 35 events thus far in 2015, Vegas Matty is still alone in first place with a 252-147 record (63.2%), while Brad Traschuk trails in second place at 250-149. There were four unanimous picks out of the 13 bouts for tonight’s card (Vernon Ramos, Horacio Gutierrez, Henry Cejudo and Kelvin Gastelum). The most contentious pick was Erik Perez vs Taylor Lapilus (Perez – 4, Lapilus -5) Without further ado: UFC Fight Night 78 Staff Picks
