Money Where Your Mouth Is: WEC 52 Betting

Who is everyone putting money on for this one?

My thoughts are here:

Live Underdogs:

Wagnney Fabiano looks quite out of favour if the odds are to be believed, but the Nova Uniao man stands a great chance against Team Alpha Male's Joseph Benavidez.
Fabiano has campaigned at higher weightclasses for the majority of his career, and Benavidez is hardly a sizeable guy at 135lbs. Despite a slip-up against Mackens Semerzier, Fabiano has looked great in his WEC and IFL victories. He has submissions, power and a great team behind him.

Similarly to team mate Urijah Faber, Benavidez is like an energizer bunny with a seemingly unfaltering gas tank, and if he can outwork Fabiano then he could prevail after fifteen minutes, but +230 is just too good to pass by and I'll be putting down a wedge on the Brazilian.

I also think there's decent money on Jabouin and a Team Alpha Male triple.

What you reckon?

Ok, so to recap, Fabiano didn't come in, but this did:

Certainty of the Card:

In a weight class where he'll be more suited for size, Urijah Faber shouldn't struggle too much with Takeya Mizugaki. The Japanese striker has shown us time and time again that he is as tough as old boots, but he won't have the skills to keep up with the livewire that is "The California Kid".

Faber is well-rounded, with a decent striking game going along with his wrestling and submissions. Whilst this can be fully expected to be fast-paced while it lasts, I just don't see a way that Mizugaki topples the former featherweight champion. Most of his wins are by decision, and for him to best Faber over fifteen minutes just doesn't look likely. Faber has a good chin, albeit a large one, and he is relentless. He even predicts a first-round finish, but I can see it going the distance.

There isn't much money to be made on Faber, with a best of -320, but he'd be well worth adding in to accumulators.

Live Underdogs:

Despite back to back losses, Yves Jabouin has the type of finishing ability and power that not many featherweights possess. Brandon Visher slipped up on his WEC debut when he had to take the step up in competition, and so +190 on Jabouin also looks attractive.

Money Maker:

Faber, Njokuani and Eric Koch in a triple would return almost double your money. Not the best odds for three bouts as we all know the nature of MMA, but all of these guys should pick up victories here.

The Longshot:

Love Urijah's flowing golden locks? Do you think Benavidez is cute, like a little wrestling teddy bear? Hit up the Team Alpha Male accumulator and return somewhere in the region of £45 from a £20 stake for Faber, Benavidez and Mendes.

You could have earnt some real moolah following this one tonight. A pretty successful one where I actualy made a wedge, rather than losing all my money haha.
