I’ve whored out the lighterweight fighters of the WEC about six thousand times in the slightly over a month we’ve been open, and it’s not going to stop until they start getting the same kind of respect as their UFC brethren.
Here are a couple of highlight videos of the two baddest 135 pound men on the planet. For those you who have never seen Miguel Torres fight, you are really missing the boat. He may be small, but he has an awesome mullet and one of the best all-around games in Mixed Martial Arts. Let’s put it this way: His fight with Takeya “The Last Samurai” Mizugaki is the the best fight that I have ever seen. He stopped a guy named “The Last Samurai.” Just think about that while you watch this video.
As for his opponent, Brian Bowles is also a bit of a phenom at 135. He’s 7-0, and 3-0 in the WEC. He’s a strong wrestler with solid stand-up and great power. He’s got a decent shot to beat Torres, or at the very least, put up a hell of a fight.
They fight on August 9th. That’s one day after UFC 101, when Kenny Florian will win me $100 by defeating B.J. Penn. It’s on free TV, on Versus. Set your DVRs now.
