This is what Im talking about, people trying to make money betting MMA and we all support each other with opinions and we reason out bets and maybe even given the chance bet amounts.
Nick... Cerrone is on a tear and has officially filled out now over the last two years.
Of course Ben is more skilled and natural gifted athletically but he returning right after getting ktfo,
Also if we take a look at Bens history... he is a decision artist, he is not getting in there knocking people out left right and centre, he is going the distance.

the last time ben fought Cerrone was back in 2010... Aug over four years ago,
A lot has changed.
Also just whilst it comes to mind, you know I used to watch that gamblers advisory guy

I have since stopped BUT... he would make hedge plays.
I very rarely see people here making hedge plays, what I mean to say is if we KNOW our MMA... we know likely outcomes.
A hedge play is when you know three or I guess more possibility, and are able to eliminate a number of those outcomes, then we bet those other outcomes.
Example with Cerrone, he is BUFF filled out strong and matured in his stand up and also his ground but he is weak in his first round until he warms up.
Benson is never KO;ing Cerrone... if that happens I would be shocked.
With these kinds of tip bits we should be able to make our preferred play and also cover ourselves encase the 2nd most likely outcome happens.
I am not making good sense of my self here but over the course of several up coming fights it should be possible to increase your chance at a win but with a slight reduction in return, then there is the school of thought in saying F it I will straight up bet.
Out of Ben and Cerrone the value is on Cerrone taking the fight deep, Benson is hugely impressive but it will be a dog war, he is good in those but that is Cerrone bread and butter and Cerrone is going for the tittle, he is gong to know all about Ben
You don't need to bet full units on every fight, and also don't make the plays before checking in with your roster of bets and get the feedback here.
Cerrone as underdog is value here, I have him winning 4 to 5 times out of 10 here, maybe 6, Ben better bring his A game and apply hard preasure on Cerrone and completely outclass him and land power shots and wear him down, or obviously take his back for a choke. (We like the Ben by sub in the 3rd 4th 5th?)
I am a fan of Cerrone so I am BIAS, I would mistakenly bet Cerrone regardless.
I agree the fight is about right price wise, that said if Cerrone gets in there and places his foot up bens arse from rd1 to rd5 and is on fire we are all going to feel stupid.
I like Cerrone as a fighter, he is one of the fighters I look out for to watch, he is a lean hardcore dude no mistake. I think Ben is making a mistake getting in there with him, it is not going to be easy for him.
