By: Tom Strong, MMATorch UK Contributor

WOW! WOW!! WOW!!! Did that really happen? What a fantastic performance from Holly Holm to become the new UFC Bantamweight Champion. Not many would've predicted the outcome of the main event, and by viewing the confidence points placed on Ronda Rousey, none of us did either. Joanna Jedrzejczyk once again put on a dominating performance, out pointing Valerie Letourneau with a unanimous decision victory, whilst I'm still wincing from the front kick Kyle Noke threw to TKO Peter Sobotta, that's going to hurt for some time!

Ok, enough of my waffle, let's see how you all got on!

Quarterfinal results in our latest World Cup are also in, so check out if you've made in through or not.

CONFIDENCE GAME RESULTS

Lisa Smith (55 points) beats Cambo Nelson (33) to remain the MMATorch Confidence Picks Champion.

The Champion Lisa scored a respectable 55 points making light work of the challenger Cambo Nelson, this was made easier by the fact Cambo only predicted 4 of the 13 fights correctly and scored 33 points, the lowest score of anyone on the night.

Next up for Lisa will be Ben Heather who topped the pool with 67 points, having come a close second last time out at UFC 192. Ben somehow managed to go one step further and pull off an unlikely win to be next in line to challenge Lisa at UFC 194. Ben pipped myself by 1 point, as I returned 66 points; next in line was Joel Wielenga scoring 65 points.

Well done Lisa and Ben who will battle it out at UFC 194.

Here are the results of the Confidence Picks pool:


67- Ben Heather


66- Tommy Strong

65- Jaymon1002

64- Richard Race

64- Mark Sacchetti

63- Kevin Seng

62- Sean Simpson

61- Dave Hughes

60- Chris Houten

59- Dan Moore

58- Jeff Barbone

58- Mac Kinder

58- James Brown

58- Anthony Sinnott

57- Clay Burley

57- Eugene Kim

57- Brian Foe

56- Malcolm Piper

53- Sam Martin

49- David 'Short Fuse' Little

48- Joel 2/8 Wielenga

42- John Lewish

40- Neal Hollic

33- Cambo Nelson

Note: Should either champion, or challenger fail to submit picks for UFC 194 (Aldo vs McGregor) Tommy Strong 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 Lisa or Ben at UFC 195.

 

BETTING GAME RESULTS

Joel 2/8 Wielenga ($490) beats Cambo Nelson ($0) to become the new MMATorch Betting Champion.

Both men had nights to forget especially Cambo as he lost on every bet placed. This meant Joel's single returning bet was enough for him to take the title.

It's been a while Joel, but great job winning the title.

Joel 2/8 Wielenga: $490

$200 on Noke for $490

Cambo Nelson: $0


Up next to challenge will be Ben Heather, who returned a massive $4725.11 to ensure he topped the betting pool. With shrewd bets on Noke, Martinez, and Whittaker, it was his crafty $100 bet on Holm which not only returned him $1350 it also brought him victory over myself. I thought this title challenge was mine, surely $3512.73 was more than enough to win as there was no hope of Holm pulling off the upset! How wrong I was.


Top work Ben!
