Miguel Torres v. Joseph Benavidez Expected At WEC 47

Former bantamweight champion Miguel Torres is in talks to return to action against top division prospect Joseph Benavidez at WEC 47: “Bowles vs. Cruz” from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, on March 6, 2010.

MMAmania.com (www.mmamania.com) learned of the planned match-up earlier today.

SB Nation’s own MMA Mania breaks the news that Miguel Torres v. Joseph Benavidez is expected to happen at WEC 47.

This is about as exciting of a fight on paper as is able to be made. Torres is relentless standing while Benavidez pushes the pace with his own wrestling/power punching style. The winner should be in line to fight the winner of the main event bout between Brian Bowles and Dominick Cruz for the bantamweight title.

SB Nation will have more details once the bout is confirmed.
