WEC 50: Cruz vs. Benavidez - Aug 18th

Well I don't like them at all, but I'd compromise for some consistency.

I just think that if you have something that's up to the ref's judgement--I mean, the reason for a standup is "inaction"--then people are going to think some are good and some are not.

Honestly, the sport is what it is. We need to stop apologizing for it and just let it be.

Shit, I love it just the way it is.

KTTHOAGO would be nice in the UFC, though.

Holy fuck what a fight.

Hell yeah!

That was awesome. Pettis really surprised me with his wrestling. I didn't expect all that.

at least you got good money management

chasing is almost always a good idea. Especially when you dumpy your entire bankroll... how could that strategy ever fail?

I like his choice of Cruz.

I hope he wins.

You hear that? I hope you win sideloaded. . .

Judges should just realize that the guy on top is not necessarily winning. They need to score the takedown and the grappling separately. Being on top stalling = other guy is winning. Just take away the incentive to stall by scoring it correctly. More educated judges would solve the problem.

I am torn on whether or not to put $10 or $20 on Benavidez in the contest.

I think Cruz will win, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

But I guess it depends how you view your bankroll.

Oh no doubt. If I could change one thing about the unified rules, that would be it no doubt.

I agree. It's a fight. I think damage > control.

We'd have to give up on our plan to win big on LnP wrestlers, though.

Sorry sideloaded, but Benavidez is going to win by guillotine.

Yeah, that too. No standups and better judges and I'm fine with it.
