Shame this is WEC's final card, but I'm glad to see everyone will get the recognition they deserve once they come into UFC. This is a great card, top to  ing bottom and I'm pretty excited. WEC 53 "HENDERSON VS. PETTIS", 12/16/2010 (Versus) Jobing.com Arena, Glendale AZ1. Bantamweight bout: Renan Barão vs. Chris Cariaso 2. Lightweight bout: Ricardo Lamas vs. Yuri Alcantara 3. Lightweight bout: Danny Castillo vs. Will Kerr4. Bantamweight bout: Eddie Wineland vs. Ken Stone 5. Bantamweight bout: Brad Pickett vs. Ivan Menjivar 6. Lightweight bout: Jamie Varner vs. Shane Roller7. Lightweight bout: Zhang Tie Quan vs. Danny Downes 8. Lightweight bout: Bart Palaszewski vs. Kamal Shalorus9. Lightweight bout: Donald Cerrone vs. Chris Horodecki 10. Bantamweight Championship: Dominick Cruz (c) vs. Scott Jorgensen11. Lightweight Championship: Ben Henderson (c) vs. Anthony Pettis
As you can see, I am expecting both titleholders to lose. Jorgensen is a very tough guy and a finisher, same with Pettis. Although I don't think Pettis will have an easy time finishing Henderson, I think it will happen in round 4. |

I was going to make this thread in a day or Two but anyway. I will be there live, Fifth row baby! Going to be awesome being part of the last ever WEC! I will post lots of pictures from signings, Weigh Ins and the event. I'm very stoked because because its the first major MMA event I'm going to, well I went to Strikeforce but that was a Challenger Series.
Main Card:
WEC Lightweight Championship Bout: Ben Henderson (c) Vs. Anthony Pettis
WEC Bantamweight Championship Bout: Dominick Cruz (c) Vs. Scott Jorgensen
Lightweight Bout: Donald Cerrone Vs. Chris Horodecki
Lightweight Bout: Bart Palaszewski Vs. Kamal Shalorus
Lightweight Bout: Zhang Tie Quan Vs. Danny Downes
Preliminary Card:
Lightweight Bout: Jamie Varner Vs. Shane Roller
Bantamweight Bout: Brad Pickett Vs. Ivan Menjivar
Bantamweight Bout: Eddie Wineland Vs. Ken Stone
Lightweight Bout: Danny Castillo Vs. Will Kerr
Lightweight Bout: Ricardo Lamas Vs. Yuri Alcantara
Bantamweight Bout: Renan Barão Vs. Chris Cariaso
Let it be said that The Mongolian Wolf is ing awesome, I became a fan of his after his last fight. I think Quan wins with a Sub in R2.
Both Cruz and Jorgensen are tough guys, I don't think they will be able to finish each other but neither will back down from trying which will lead to an awesome fight. I think Cruz wins by Decision.
Bendo Vs. Pettis is a very hard fight for me to chose, I keep going back and forth I like them both so much(Bendo more) and both are very tough. I think they will spend a little time on the feet with Pettis getting the best but then Bendo getting it to the ground and outdoing Pettis and getting a Sub very late in R4 or late in R5.

I'm going for Pettis to win the title... but I'd really like Frankie Edgar to beat Maynard and then unify it. ;D

The main card is full of wars that can go either way. I'm truly sad this is the last ever WEC but at least they are going out with an amazing night of fights. I'm actually getting off the board for this one and cracking open a few cold ones. Enjoy everyone. War Bendo!!!  |

I hate Dominic Cruz.
I'm typing this right now while the fight is happening in the other room. I got up because I really care that little about his fights.
His style annoys me, I can't stand even watching it.

I'll quote Joe Rogan for my reaction to that kick.
"You see that in a movie, and you go 'that's bull****. That doesn't happen'!"

That was a SICK fight.
That god damn ninja kick, holy SH*T. That was insane.
I do disagree with the decision, though. I had it as a draw, actually.
R1 was 10-9 Henderson.
R2 was 10-9 Henderson.
R3 was 10-9 Pettis.
R4 was 10-10.
R5 was 10-9 Pettis.
All my opinion, of course. How did you guys score it?

I'm not really "good" at scoring actual fights, I at least thought it was a split decision. |
