Heading into the Miesha Tate vs. Cat Zingano classic (watch it if you haven't seen it, trust me) we had two players cruising to a joint win. Mark Sacchetti and Eugene Kim were heading for a play off. But just like that, it all went south for both guys.
Upset wins for Zingano and Kelvin Gastelum turned the contest on its head and new challengers emerged to pip them to the post. Let's see how you all did and find out who took home the much needed bonuses on offer:

CONFIDENCE GAME RESULTS
Congratulations to Ed Gibbons who went an impressive 10-2 last night. He also had the foresight to pick Kelvin Gastelum when pretty much everyone else went for Uriah Hall. That decision alone gave him the win in a very closely fought contest.
Alex Potapoff finished a credible second after predicting a Cat Zingano win, but alas it wasn't enough to pip big Ed. Dennis Fagan was the only other player to score over 60 points to take third place. Ed now gets 10 bonus points to use at UFC on FOX 7 next weekend. Well done young Jedi.

BETTING GAME RESULTS
Plenty of players ended up laying goose eggs last night, but strategically it was well worth the risk of going bust. Lots of underdog picks tonight, some paid off, some didn't. It certainly paid off for Alex Potapoff who not only bet big on Cole Miller but also landed a parlay which included the underdog.
Both Ben Heather and Rick Thayer hit a brilliant $500 bet on huge underdog Kelvin Gastelum. However, their parlays didn't pay out and that one bet wasn't enough to beat the pack. Congratulations to Alex who now gets an extra $500 to use for UFC on FOX 7 next week.
