WEC 50 Breakdown & Betting Odds

Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz vs. Joseph Benavidez: A rematch of two top-ranked Bantamweights makes for our main event here, as Dominick Cruz will make his first title defense against Joseph Benavidez as the main event of WEC 50. Their first outing was a spectacular affair, as both men employ the same whirlwind fighting style of multiple-punch combinations and well-timed takedowns. In their first fight, Cruz proved to be the larger and better versed wrestler, out-pointing Benavidez for a clear decision win on virtue of his takedowns and cage control. While both men have gotten better at their respective craft, both men are still very similar, and Cruz is still the larger fighter of the two. Look for Cruz to work his rangy striking and use his size to his advantage as he yet again out-points Benavidez to retain his title.
