MMAOddsBreaker Staff Picks – UFC Fight Night 89

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 15 events thus far in 2016, Nick Kalikas is back in first place with a 115-68 overall record (63.1%). Jay Primetown is right on his heels in second place at 114-69. There were three unanimous picks out of the 13 fights on this card (Ali Bagautinov, Colby Covington and Olivier Aubin-Mercier). The most contentious picks were Leandro Silva vs Jason Saggo (Silva 4 – Saggo 4) and Steve Bosse vs Sean O’Connell (Bosse 4 – O’Connell 4). Without further ado: UFC Fight Night 89
