I guess the the main card will be Torres/Bowles, Curran/Mizugaki, Benavidez/Cruz, and Garcia/Massouh? Looks like yet another stacked event from the WEC.
Man, Torres vs Bowles and Mizugaki vs Curran? I am so there. Let's hope the girlfriend sits down and watches this. Miguel's mexi-mullet might change her mind on MMA.
I never fail to be excited by the WEC these days. Every card is so exciting. Happy to see Benavidez back again. Another good win and he must surely take on the winner of the main event at the end of this year.
Bowles is a very solid fighter. He is well rounded but I dont think he is quite ready to face Miguel Torres. Torres has him beat when it comes to stand up and on the ground in my opinion.

I think Akitoshi Tamura has the best shot since he's Japanese. Torres seems to struggle against Japanese fighters. Plus, Tamura's the bigger guy, is great on the ground, has good takedowns and has solid striking.
I think the last few cards have been good for WEC. I am excited about this one too. I havent seen Brian fight though so im undecided. Miguel hasnt impressed me.. I know its Bantamweight but still. He has an impressive record. His last three fights just haven't impressed me.
care to expand on how Torres has failed to impress, just a little curious because he totally dominated Maeda, Owned Tapia and went to war against Mitsukagi
That's thinking positively :thumbsup: Too bad the card isn't getting as much love with everybody talking about UFC 101. I just think it's gonna be an awesome weekend.
Wooooo, only 3 hours to WEC 42 and this time I don't even have to search for a stream because it will be streamed live online on their website outside of the US! Looking forward to see Mizugaki fight again and of course Torres vs Bowles.
Omg, it's soon. As someone said, it's been getting shadowed by UFC 101. But I already know this is going to be 10x better than last night. Can't wait!!
Rani Yahya really took it to Hosman in their short prelim fight, getting out of a guillotine and managing to choke out Hosman from the North-South position.
