At Saturday’s WEC 47 event, Miguel Torres competes in his seventh career World Extreme Cagefighting bout, fights for the first time since losing his bantamweight belt to Brian Bowles, and in his eyes, returns to the cage as a new fighter.
Last month Torres spoke to MMAjunkie.com about how he hopes a WEC 47 victory over Joseph Benavidez will lead to an immediate Bowles rematch.
After all, that knockout loss to Bowles in August 2009 served as a wake-up call for Torres, who now warns the rest of the WEC’s 135-pound division that he’s even more dangerous that he was before.
