Three noticeable underdogs (according to points and money assigned) caused upsets this past weekend; thus causing competitors to lose some big points. Erik Koch, Mike Russow and Simeon Thoresen were all heavily backed but all duly ended up losing. On the flip side, if you backed Shawn Jordan or David Mitchell, give yourself a pat on the back. Without further ado, let's take a look at how you all did:

CONFIDENCE GAME RESULTS
Harry Cooper (59 points) defeated James Brown (45 points) to become the new MMA Torch Confidence Picks Champion. Unlike previous weeks, this one wasn't really close. After a good run at the title, the now former champion had an average day at the office. I'm sure he'll be back with a vengeance, very soon. Congrats to Harry, a well deserved win from a loyal and long time competitor. Well done, sir.
Next up for the reigning champion is Anthony Sinnott who came away with a very impressive 64 points, dropping only 2 points all night. Notable mentions for Joe Willams and Matt Page who both posted very credible scores; just not quite enough to earn them both a title shot.
Here are the results of the Confidence Picks pool:
64 - Anthony Sinnott
60 - Joe Williams
58 - Matt Page
56 - Erwin "Skarz" Bouwman
56 - Mandeep Singh
56 - Cody Bartalone

Note: Should either the champion, or challenger fail to submit their picks for UFC 156 (Aldo vs. Edgar), Joe Williams will 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 Harry, or Anthony at UFC on FUEL 7 (Barao vs. McDonald) next month.
BETTING GAME RESULTS
Harry Cooper ($1233.34) defeated James Brown ($225.00) to become the new undisputed MMA Torch Betting Picks Champion. Harry hit a treble of impressive bets including one on Shawn Jordan, an underdog in his win over Mike Russow. This more than helped Harry to improve on his original stake money; comfortably beating the champion who's good fortune finally ran out.
James Brown: $225.00
$100 on Lamas for $225
Harry Cooper: $1233.34
$200 on Jordan for $500

Next up for our new undisputed champion is Eugene Kim, who if memory serves me right, has just earned his very first title shot. Eugene almost quadrupled his stake money ($3854.17) with effective bets placed on Jordan, Lamas and Pettis. His parlay using all three brought in over $2000 alone. That is how you do it people. Well done, Eugene.

MMA Torch Betting Picks Championship Match Up (UFC 156)
Harry Cooper (Champion) vs. Eugene Kim (Challenger)
Performer of the Night: Congrats to Harry Cooper for becoming a double champion. Like others before you (including me), greatness has been instantly thrust upon you.
Goat of the Night: I could be diplomatic and say it was a really tough fight card to pick from, but I won't. No excuses from you, Mr. Ben Heather. 31 points and a goose egg is shocking, really shocking!
We'll be back for UFC 156 (Aldo vs. Edgar) sometime tomorrow night. I'll post links on my Twitter account when the contests go live.
