There will be two titles fights on this card, just added as co-main event is a title fight between challenger Scott Jorgensen and champ Dominick Cruz .

I've been a fan of Jorgensen for awhile now, he is never in a boring fight. Glad to see him get a title shot .

I think Pettis is the toughest challenge so far for Bendo. Pettis is still a bit under the radar because the WEC can not be pulled away from the Varner/Cerrone soap opera to show any other LWs, but Pettis is a bad style matchup for Bendo. He was able to keep Roller from taking him down, so he should have a good shot at doing the same to Bendo. If Pettis keeps it standing, he has a great shot at winning. Bendo is a gamer though, and always seems to find ways to win.

Should be an excellent fight.

Pettis is a joy to watch. WEC 51 is in two days! Gonna have to choose between Jersey Shore and the Zombie.

HOLY CRAP!

I forgot about this card and it's in THREEEEE DAYS!

I don't see either title changing hands though. Jorgensen is my boy, but he's not ready.

After watching the World of Jenks episode with Showtime, I can't help but root for the guy. He came off as incredibly humble and just a genuinely nice person. That said I don't know if he can hang with Bendo.

Considering the winner of this matchup gets the next titleshot, I'd love to see a Pettis/Edgar fight, so here's hoping...

Picks are as follows

Bendo (hope I'm wrong)
Cruz
Hordecki
Shalarus
Varner

Cruz was awsome! So dynamic, just dominated him the whole time and was still as fresh as a daisy at the bell. Very impressive.

Wow!!!! That must have been the most insane move I've ever seen. Pettis takes this fight on that move alone. What a fight!!

If it wasn't for that kick, this would have been a tough tough fight to score... with it though, i think Pettis is gonna take this one. FOTY?
