By: Dan Moore, MMATorch UK Columnist

There were some very impressive scores this weekend, helped significantly by a lack of underdogs winning. Only White, Romero, and Werdum had been considered underdogs in terms of points allocated in this game. Everything else went to plan and the other ten winners were well backed by most of you.

I sadly had to turn away quite a few entries last night. I highlighted the fact the FOX cards start earlier than pay-per-view events, yet I was still receiving entries after the fifth fight had taken place. I hate turning people away, especially loyal players of the game, but rules are rules.

CONFIDENCE GAME FIGHT PREDICTIONS

40 people submitted an entry for this card. Here’s a combined breakdown of how many confidence points you placed on each fighter (Winner in bold):

Fabricio Werdum - 22
Travis Browne - 317

Miesha Tate - 258
Liz Carmouche - 47

Donald Cerrone - 127
Edson Barboza - 101

Yoel Romero - 84
Brad Tavares - 149

Khabib Nurmagomedov - 380
Rafael dos Anjos - 22

Thiago Alves - 434
Seth Baczynski - 0

Jorge Masvidal - 169
Pat Healy - 86

Alex White - 60
Estevan Payan - 121

Caio Magalhaes - 310
Luke Zachrich - 9

Jordan Mein - 411
Hernani Perpetuo - 4

Dustin Ortiz - 227
Ray Borg - 20

Mirsad Bektic - 123
Chas Skelly - 40

Derrick Lewis - 175
Jack May - 17

CONFIDENCE GAME RESULTS

James Lowson (69 points)
beat Corey O'Donnell (60 points) to become the new MMA Torch Confidence Picks Champion. Reigning champion Corey was finally derailed and it didn't take a spectacular score to do it. It was James who came through despite dropping points on Payan, Tavares and Browne. Congrats to the new champion who defends his new crown at UFC 172 next weekend.

Next up for the champion is Daniel Clark who scored a superb 90 points and just missed out on a perfect night dropping only one single point. He lost that sole point on Travis Browne and went 12-1 for the night to earn his first title shot. Congrats Dan.

Here are the results of the Confidence Picks pool:

90 - Daniel Clark
85 - Mac Kinder
81 - Anthony Sinnott
81 - JayMon1002
81 - Adam Tranter
80 - Dan Moore
80 - James Brown
80 - Dennis 'The Crustacean' Fagan
78 - Dave Hughes
78 - Mandeep Singh
78 - Ben Silva
77 - Bill Gallagher
76 - The Champion of Champions' Mark Sacchetti
75 - David Little
75 - Scott Pipher
74 - Sean Simpson
73 - Richard Race
71 - Alex Potapoff
70 - Rich Hansen
69 - Charles Mickael
68 - Kevin Seng
68 - Shaun Louis
66 - "Raunchy" Rick Thayer
66 - Sam Martin

Note: Should either champion, or every challenger fail to submit picks for UFC 172 (Jones vs. Teixeira), Mac Kinder would step up as a challenger, and so on. Everyone else will be fighting for the No 1 contender slot on the night, and the right to face off against James or Dan at UFC Fight Night 40 (Brown vs. Silva) next month.

BETTING GAME RESULTS

Mac Kinder ($1955.51)
beat Sean Simpson ($1247.73) to remain MMA Torch Betting Champion. After a shocking 0-0 draw in the last championship match-up, this restored my faith in humanity. A solid performance from both guys but the parlay for Mac proved decisive in the end.

Mac Kinder: $1955.51

$500 on Ortiz for $794.12

$50 on Nurmagomedov for $73.81

$250 on Tate for $378.21

$200 parlay on Ortiz, Nurmagomedov and Tate for $709.37

Sean Simpson: $1247.73

$300 on Cerrone for $572.73

$300 on White for $675

Up next for the champion is Anthony Sinnott ($3396.27). Both Anthony and myself had identical betting picks this weekend, but with different stakes. Ultimately the extra $50 he placed on underdog White proved crucial. Fingers crossed Anthony fails to submit his picks next week!!!

Here (in no particular order) are the results of the Betting Picks pool:

Anthony Sinnott: $3396.27

$200 on Bektic for $390.48

$400 on White for $900

Performer of the Night: There are a few worthy contenders this weekend, but I'm giving this one to Dan Clark for his almost immaculate performance in the confidence picks game.

Goat of the Night: Another first time player finishes bottom of the pile, proving this game isn't as easy as it looks. I'm looking at you, Jack Donaldson.
