A record breaking 782 points were placed on Ronda Rousey and unlike the previous record holder (Alistair Overeem), she delivered the points for us and didn't let anyone down. It was a good night in general for girl power; particular congratulations should go to Julie Dunn, who on her debut, wiped the floor with her supposedly more knowledgeable partner, Chris Houten. Ouch! Only one fight produced a major upset and that is clearly shown in some of the excellent scores. Let's take a look at how you all did:

CONFIDENCE GAME RESULTS
Nick Williams (59 points) beat Harry "Super" Cooper (58 points) to become the new MMA Torch Confidence Picks Champion. After a fantastic reign as champion, Harry was finally dethroned by first time contender, Nick. It was an extremely close fought match up with Nick getting 8 correct fight predictions as opposed to Harry's 7. Point allocation was equally crucial and Nick did just enough to earn the title. Congratulations Nick, now the hard work starts trying to defend your crown.
Next up for the new champion is Clinton Tillett who finished with an impressive 67 points. Clinton only missed picks on Matt Grice and Josh Neer which was good enough to finish just above first time player Julie Dunn and former champion, Chris Wallner. Nick and Clinton square off next weekend when the UFC heads to Japan for UFC on FUEL 8. Chris earns the right to be first reserve over Julie, because he correctly predicted 10 fights, as opposed to Julie who predicted 9.
Here are the results of the Confidence Picks pool:
67 - Clinton Tillett
65 - Julie Dunn
65 - Chris Wallner

BETTING GAME RESULTS
Shaun Louis ($967.67) defeated Anthony Sinnott ($0) to retain his title as undisputed MMA Torch Betting Picks Champion. This one wasn't even close because Anthony lost every dollar and laid a big fat stinking goose egg last night. He unsuccessfully backed Johnson, Villefort and Fodor for individual wins, but none of those underdogs managed to pull through for him and he lost convincingly. Hero to zero in the space of one week, unlucky dude.
Shaun Louis: $967.67
$300 on Magny for $471.43
$200 parlay on Magny, Bermudez and Faber for $496.24
Anthony Sinnott: $0
Next for the reigning champion is relative newcomer Clinton Tillett who nearly quadrupled his stake money for a return of $3836.91. Clinton hit big on a parlay bet involving underdogs Robertson and Lawler which raked in $2016 alone. Well done, Clinton and I hope you put down some real money last night. Special mentions to Jason McKee and Adam Tranter who both doubled their money, but not quite enough to overhaul Clinton.

Clinton Tillett: $3836.91

RECAP
MMA Torch Confidence Picks Championship Match Up (UFC on FUEL 8)
Nick Williams (Champion) vs. Clinton Tillett (Challenger)
MMA Torch Betting Picks Championship Match Up (UFC on FUEL 8)
Shaun Louis (Champion) vs. Clinton Tillett (Challenger)
Performer of the Night: If you win both the confidence picks and betting pools in one night, like Clinton Tillett did, you deserve to win this highly prestigious award. Congrats.
Goat of the Night: I'm giving this to Rohan Moharty who submitted his picks, after the deadline, thus meaning his entry was invalid. Had his admin been better; he would have finished second tonight and been in line for a potential title shot, should Clinton not turn up next week. Deadlines and rules are there for a reason. It's not like four days isn't enough time to enter your picks!
We're back for UFC on FUEL 8 (Silva vs. Stann) later this week. I'll post links on my Twitter account when the contests go live.
