WEC 50: Cruz vs. Benavidez - Aug 18th

Re: WEC 50: Cruz vs. Benavidez - Aug 18th

Benavidez pretty much got knocked around and grapplefucked for three rounds.

Wish I had gotten Cruz at the opening line because I don't really think he's bettable at this point.

I watched the fight about 5 times in the last day and I think at the current line Benavidez is the play.

5 times? That's some serious research right there.

LOL thats nothing I usually watch fights upto 10 times when its a rematch

Normally if its not a rematch I wach fights 1-2 times but if its a remach I watch them alot more. I bet I watched Henderson-Cerrone I 10 times

^^ how do you see Roller/Pettis going down?

I am actually favoring Pettis to create some scrambles and catch something with his more dynamic attack

I think Shane's wrestling is enough to hold Pettis down for 3 rounds. Shane has better wrestling then Karalexis and I think shane will pressure with takedowns consistently enough to stop any devastating strikes. Shane did this with Njokuani without taking any damage. I plan on betting another 3-4u on my other 4 picks depending on the lines but I like 2.5u on Roller.

Cruz is going to win again and I've never actually seen the fight.

It would be nice if the rest of the lines would come out.

Cruz has the edge, but I think the value lies with Benavidez. Benavidez by guillotine.



0.5u on Benavidez @+215

I'm really on the fence with this one. Cruz's domination of Benavidez in their first fight, as well as his clear victory over Bowles (broken hand be damned), makes me reluctant to bet on Benavidez.

Also, it's worth noting that Cruz has only lost ONCE . . . to Urijah Faber.

I think that Pettis will have a clear advantage in the standup, but he will more then likely get Pettis down. The question, really, is whether or not Pettis can either get back to his feet and land a KO shot at some point within the three rounds, or if he can possibly catch a sub (he seems to be a solid BJJ guy and has several subs on his record).

If he can't do one or the other, then Roller probably wins a decision via control.

What SPX said, even though Pettis was my first instinct.

I like Pettis at the current line. Bendo was able to get the TKO over Roller, and if he can do it then Pettis, who has quite a bit more power in his strikes I think, should be able to do it as well . . . if he can connect.
