Anyone watching WEC 50 tonight?

Nasty, NASTY card. Already a great start. Cruz v. Benavidez II should be a barn burner!

Discuss.

I saw it. I don't know too much about the WEC fighters, but they seem to put on more exciting fights than the UFC. They all have that "go for it" attitude.

watched it , great card , I love the WEC , lighter weight classes put on a great show. Wanted Benavidez to win :( Im a big fan of the alpha male. Looking forward to the next fight card as well

one thing i realized part way through the evening was how awesome a colour commentator Stephan Bonnar was. I think he did a great job giving insight & telling stories throughout the night. The fights were all great & it just shows how many really talented MMA fighters there are out there now. I'd still like to see guys like Urijah Faber fighting in the UFC but i think the WEC is stacked to the hilt in top talent. I can't believe the chin that the guy who beat Brad "one-punch" Pickett up had! I've seen Pickett fight in Cage Rage in England & Bodog & i've seen him win at least 7 or 8 fights from a single punch KO & thought for sure he'd KO his opponent. But that guy just kept walking through his punches. Unbelievable chin! That was a pretty spectacular card for sure.

Jorgensen is the real deal. Dude has mad heart. He's going to give Cruz all he can handle. WEC fights never disappoint. The smaller guys have cardio for days and just SCRAP. Castillo and Mendez both won in pretty convincing fashion so 2 out of 3 for Alpha Male is not too shabby

WEC 51 is STACKED. look at this card.

MAIN CARD
Champ Jose Aldo vs. Manny Gamburyan (for featherweight title)
Miguel Torres vs. Charlie Valencia
Donald Cerrone vs. Jamie Varner
Chan Sung Jung vs. George Roop
Leonard Garcia vs. Mark Hominick

PRELIMINARY CARD

Mike Brown vs. Cole Province
Chris Horodecki vs. Ed Ratcliff
Antonio Banuelos vs. Chad George
Clint Godfrey vs. Demetrious Johnson
Alex Karalexis vs. Zhang Tie Quan*
Tyler Toner vs. TBA*

Unbelievable that a card like this is FREE on television. Anyone wo doesnt watch WEC, do yourself a favor and watch this show. It will be fireworks.

Cruz proved why hes my favorite fighter in the WEC, comes out to My life, and put the pressure on. Personally do not know how this was a SD, Stand up was 50/50 but Cruz landed take-downs. He won easily one 4 of the five rounds. I think the second round was the only round where cruz didn't go for a takedown and you could give that to ben. I love how Cruz gets boo'd because hes fight alapha male fighter. I personally can't stand Alapha male. How bart Bart, sporting a new mowhak and a KTFO. He personally got knockout of the night in my opinon. I think Showtime was the fighter i was most impressed with. First time i ever saw a summersault to tap top mount, hes flashy and gets the job done. Hes also fighting out of WI.

I think I may start a Cruz PC, I really don't think anyone can stop him.

I tivo'd it and just watched now. Great fights, really liked the Jorgensen vs. Pickett fight and Anthony Pettis. That guy is exciting the moves he throws out and the risk he takes.
