    UFC 132 Previews

    I started a new section of my site now that I have a UFC writer. We have pretty much all the previews up for UFC 132. Check them out here UFC Betting.

    You say something in the Cruz-Faber write up that I see alot of people say. That Faber is the stronger wrestler. That just boggles my mind. Do you mean better submissions?

    So many people seem to think that Faber is just going to be taking Cruz down at will. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

    I am REAL surprised Cruz is not a bigger fave.

          Are you referring to the final paragraph where it say that Faber is the stronger ground fighter? You will have to ask that question in the comments of the article. I didn't write the preview, my UFC contributor, Matt Hendricks did. He will gladly explain his opinions and engage in UFC talk. He absolutely loves it.

            is Matt Hendricks SPX?

                  not exactly sure what that means, but Matt isn't SPX. Matt is an old college buddy. I highly doubt SPX went to IUP.

                    BOL always meant Best of Luck before...that is what really confused me.

                    And yes, Indiana Univ of PA.

                      Don't know what to tell you. But I don't know anyone on this forum personally. He posts on discussion boards on Facebook, but as far as I know, he has absolutely no knowledge of what IWS is. But fee free to go on believing that if you want. Nothing I can do about it. Just keep readying ;-)

                        My bad Frank. I probably read to much into it. Ground fighter, and I for some reason equated it to wrestling.

                        As for getting into a long debate over the fight. I am pretty much not doing that anymore. All that said, Cruz is the bet here.

                          I wanna hear your breakdown on it. I also think Cruz is going to win pretty decisively.

                            I just think it looks like a typical Cruz fight. I actually think Benevidaz is a better fighter than Faber.

                            As long as Cruz keeps his takedowns to the end of the round(something he has perfected), I think he is fine.

                            I agree, i think it is a fairly easy win...4 rounds to 1 type thing.

                              Faber's only chance is a sub... from what I can see on the fight.
                              Cruz striking is just too good, even though he won't KO faber.
                              and his wrestling is even better than faber, but he probably won't try to take faber down, just to avoid beeing caught in a gillotine again.
                              I already have money on cruz, in a parlay with GSP (agains't shields) and aldo (agains't hominick) @ +175
