FightMetric statistics deconstruct WEC 50 split decision for 'Cruz vs Benavidez'

I have no idea where that Split D came from. Regardless, Cruz got the win.

to see that cocky dwarf lose again. I cannot stand to watch him fight

But I can’t stand his fights. He’s like watching the damn geenie from Mike Tyson’s punch out.
You blink, he runs around in a circle, and hits his opponent

 Rounds 2 and 3. Cruz is a lot of dancing, and not enough action sometimes. I dont like him much, seems like a okay guy though…….no disrespect, just not my kind of fighter I guess.
 Oh, and what is with Faber’s team? is the rule to be on his team no taller than 5’5? LOL, alpha male, more like team LMD. Little man’s disease.

I was blown surprised that one judge gave it to JB… Judging is crazy sometimes for sure

Its nice to catch fights of that quality on a week night. I have to admit I did not realize Cruz hit Benavidez that many times; would love to see the round by round breakdown. I suppose Cruz creates many angles to hit his opponents, but I was thinking Bena was cutting off some angles and landing the heavier shots. I tried not to get caught up with what Bonnar was saying, but it seemed he was changing his tune as the fight progressed. No doubt Cruz won, but I started to feel for those who feel GSP smothers guys and does not allow the fight to play out on the feet ( I know Cruz is unreal on his feet, I am just sharing my bias.) Round 1 was definitely close until the takedown and 3/5ths of the 4th were all smother and ride. I thought Benavidez did well at times from the bottom thought. Can not believe the energy of those two guys and that division has to be the most exciting in MMA.
