By: Tommy Strong, MMA Torch UK Columnist

Ronda Rousey wasted little time once again, knocking out Bethe Correia within 34 seconds to retain her UFC Bantamweight Title. Is there anyone out there who can actually survive past one minute with Ronda, let alone beat her?! Shogun Rua vs. Lil Nog was far from their classic encounter back in 2005, though I don't think anyone expected it would be; Rua once again came out victorious via unanimous decision. Meanwhile, Stefan Sturve looks to have put an end to the UFC career of Big Nog, with Rodrigo Nogueira likely to retire after his unanimous decision loss.

UFC 190 certainly wasn't the most entertaining cards we've ever seen, but for what it lacked in entertainment, Ronda made up for in style!

Time for some results! Lets see how we all got on:

(1st round results in the latest World Cup are also in, so check out if you've made in through or not)

CONFIDENCE GAME RESULTS

Dominic Marchionna (56)
beats David Lindahn (47 points) to retain the MMATorch Confidence Picks Title.

Dominic managed to hold onto his title, defeating David in a late knockout win. David went all out to snatch the title with some bold predictions which didn't quite pay off for him. Both players got off to terrible starts (we all did) losing big points on Hugo Viana and Clint Hester, but the key moment to victory were defeats to Sol Paelei and Jessica Aguilar, which saw any chance David Lindahn had of winning quickly disappear!

Your time will come again David, and well done Dominic for holding onto the belt!

Next up to challenge for the title will be Lisa Smith who scored 72 points. Lisa correctly predicted 10/13 fights, only dropping points off Viana, Hester, and Lopes. Her nearest rival was Sean Simpson (71 points), who with a correctly placed joker card Sean would've been this weeks challenger. He decided against using the card, and therefore come up short by just one point. Closely followed behind these two was Chris Houten; after a hiatus from the game Chris returned to run both Lisa and Sean very close scoring 70 points. The nearly man of UFC 189, Scott Pipher, will be once again disappointed at only coming close to topping the pool scoring (70) points.


Here are the results of the Confidence Picks pool:

72- Lisa Smith
71- Sean Simpson
70- Chris Houten
70- Scott Pipher
67- Charles Mickael
65- Alex Potapoff
64- Odiesel02
64- Carll Light
64- Neal Hollic
64- Cambo Nelson
61- Tommy Strong
61- Brain Foe
60- David Little
58- Dan Moore
56- Richard Race
56- Dominic Marchionna
56- Ben Heather
56- Mark Sacchetti
55- Brice Schroeder
55- Paul Johnson
54- John Lewish
54- Kevin Seng
52- Charlie Hastings
51- Jaymon10002
50- Sam Martin
50- Mac Kinder
50- Anthony Sinnott
49- Steve Sadler
48- Ray Thomson
47- David Lindahn
44- Malcolm Piper
44- Eugene Kim
38- Jason Poirier



Note: Should either champion, or challenger fail to submit picks for UFC 191 (Johnson vs. Dodson) Sean Simpson 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 either Dominic or Lisa at UFC 192.

BETTING GAME RESULTS

Cambo Nelson ($2030.58)
beats David Lindahn ($642.42) and successfully holds onto the MMATorch Betting Title! Cambo you've done it in style once again my friend, more than doubling your original stake and blowing David out of the water! Cambo's gamble backing Silva to win, and adding him into his two fight parlay, paid off handsomely. Sorry David, it's another defeat for you and no title for your efforts.

Cambo Nelson: $2030.58

$300 on Silva for $852

$200 on Maia for $314.29

$200 Parlay on Maia and Silva for $864.29

David Lindahn: $642.42

$400 on Struve for $642.42

Up next to challenge Cambo Nelson will be Lisa Smith who returned $2827.94. Lisa backed Silva heavily in both her single and parlay bets, which saw her top the pool with relative ease! Her closest rival was the Betting Champion himself Cambo Nelson. It wasn't a great weekend for the betting pool, which saw no player apart from Lisa and Cambo able to double their original $1000 stake!

Fantastic once again Lisa, and I look forward to your battle with Cambo at UFC 191!

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

Lisa Smith: $2827.94

$250 on Cummins for $411.29

Performer of the Night: This award can only go to one person and that's Lisa Smith for topping both pools. Also mentions to Sean Simpson and Chris Houten who both narrowly missed out in the Confidence pool because you didn't place the joker card available.

GOAT: Wear it with pride Jason Poirier!
