I was thinking the same thing. I put 200$ on Pettis, a modest bet for me. I was thinking of putting more but then I had a bad feeling.. This line looks so tasty at almost even money. But What if Cerrone shows up and wins??
It will be interesting to see if Cerrone will be willing to wrestle/grapple, as oppose to striking/grapple (off his back), by now he has to of picked up offensive wrestling of some sort, if he stands there with Pettis in that up right rigid stance of his, i fancy Pettis, if he mixes it up i think he can shut Pettis out.
I don't even care who wins. I'm a bigger fan of Cerrone, but I just hope for a great fight. I think these two are capable of delivering a great fight, no matter where it takes place.
Gonna be a great fight! Pettis' fight to lose.. Cerrone is a game fighter with the ability to counter, and usually takes advantage of mistakes.. But, I think Pettis will look to force a standup war where he wins. Love both guys, like Pettis for the future of MMA sake.
Just another way of saying he should win/ has the advantage. In this context, because he can control where the fight goes, and he has a nice advantage at standup.
