WEC 53: Henderson vs Pettis

[The HOFF]

Bookmaker has listed "live in-progress betting" on the 4 main card fights. Interesting; I've never seen this before. I assume they will throw lines up in between rounds.

[Poppa Catfish]

That is great news.

[kiefynugs]

yup its listed in the parlays section of bookmaker as well

[kiefynugs]

hmm i just put 2 units on jorgensen cruz to go over 22 1/2 and 2 on henderson. stupid or smart

Over 2.5 is that? IMO both title fights are likely to go over 2.5 rounds, but what's the odds?

O wow, I would encourage everyone to at least place a small wager on this, We can't let poor participation results ruin our chances of having this betting option in the future.

That's 22.5 minutes. Over 4.5 rounds.

[Vaughany]

That's 22.5 minutes. Over 4.5 rounds.

Ah of course! I still think they'll both go over 4.5 but would only take it at +125 or better!

[goblinburner]

i like anthony pettis alot henderson cardio is suspect and pettis will scramble real well when henderson will try to lay and prey. i like henderson but this fight you will see him gas up in the later rounds pettis by close decision

[jin2daj]

henderson pettis seems tough to call. henderson seems to be a choice off the top of my head but pettis has been very impressive as of late.

Agreed!

Like Henderson, but not so sure about Cruz. If he was fully healthy, then I would say Cruz easily. But the news that he needs hand surgery after the fight scares me.

Cruz might be playing mind games again, idk. think even with the proposed hand injury he still has what it takes to take this.

might hedge out for guaranteed money

Yea, verily, Jesus "Turn the Other Cheek" Christ would have been a huge fan of MMA and you have his eternal blessing. The winner of this fight, as with all other fights, shall be he who prays the hardest. To Jesus, specifically. Can I get an "amen," brother Benson?

...

No you can't get a ******* amen you proselytizing holier-than-thou hypocritical self-serving "Christian." Your job involves either kicking somebody's ass or getting your ass kicked, and that's the naked truth no matter how many amens you sugarcoat it with.

But aside from that good luck, I got you at -160 so I'll be praying for you.

hahaha Quality and I couldnt say it better myself! Was gonna say last night that I cant bring myself to bet against Brother Henderson because he is empowered by the almighty J-Christ!

As much as I respect guys like Hendo and Hughes for the fighters that they are, I begin to lose all respect for them when they start spouting their religious psychobabble! I'll never forget in the Hughes vs Serra preview where Hughes was going on about how he cant respect Serra as a person because of how loud and ignorant he is, and how Hughes prefers to spend time with his wife at Church. He then proceeded to say that his wife had asked him for Serra's blood...that she wanted to see Serra in pain and covered in blood! Made me put on my lollerskates for sure, I couldnt believe it and wondered how nobody else recognised this type of hypocritical shit!

[kiefynugs]

so if hendo beats pettis then maynard does he get to keep the UFC belt? Or is that not considered a title defense.


Unification is weird.

Why should Henderson win?

Anyone have a link to the weigh-ins. Everytime I click on wec the ufc shows up.

[urge2kill]

DSI had live betting for the GSP-Kos fight. I got on GSP at -500 at the start of round 2. Was at -2500 by round 4 if I remember correctly.

Don't think i'm making a single play on this card... been getting swamped at work as i prep to take my holiday... but sh*t, live betting in-match... nice! Good luck fellas!

It's WEC, so which doggies will bite?

War Cerrone! but not enough War to lay -440

[Jordan23]

It will be interesting for sure. I like Ben Henderson to win but not confident enough to bet on him. I guess we'll see tomorrow/tonight. I can't wait for this card. The last WEC event should be a good one for sure!
