Dominick ?Dominator? Cruz currently sits atop the WEC Bantamweight division as the champ. Widely regarded as the top bantamweight fighter in the world, the 25-year old Cruz hasn?t even reached his peak yet. That?s a scary thought for a kid who already possesses some serious world-class skills. He?s going to need all those skills to hold off the ferocious stable of WEC bantamweights starving for a bite at the belt.

The story of Joseph Benavidez is a well-known one in the MMA community. On the last day of a personal trip to Sacramento, Benavidez met former WEC featherweight champ Urijah Faber by chance. The two got along from the start, and Faber offered Benavidez a job at the front desk of his gym. Benavidez promptly moved from New Mexico to Sacramento, and today Benavidez is one of the top bantamweight fighters in the world.

Bet on WEC 50: Cruz vs. Benevidez

Thursday, May 17, 2012

WEC Betting Online: With a win over top-5 heavyweight Miguel Angel Torres, Joseph Benevidez gets a well-deserved shot to avenge the only loss in his career. Dominick Cruz, who beat Benevidez by unanimous decision last August, makes his first WEC Bantamweight title defense in what promises to be a thrilling throwdown at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on August 18.

Dominick Cruz -275 (15-1; 6 KOs, 1 SUB) vs. Jospeh Benevidez +215 (12-1; 3 KOs, 7 SUBs)

Cruz, the current WEC Bantamweight champ, bowled over Brian Bowles for two rounds to seize the title at WEC 47. Although Bowles bowed out with a hand injury in a rather anticlimactic finish, Cruz was having his way with the former champ. Once again, Cruz? hyperactive pace and immaculate footwork baffled his opponent, who could not muster any offense.
