WEC 47 Wrap-Up

Frank Curreri, WEC - Dominick Cruz and Joseph Benavidez, who fought last August, are once again on a collision course.

Both fighters earned career milestones at WEC 47 in Columbus, Ohio – with Cruz dethroning WEC bantamweight champ Brian Bowles and Benavidez submitting former kingpin Miguel Angel Torres – and afterward Benavidez made it clear he welcomes a sequel with the belt on the line.

Thank You, Jens Pulver

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - Just a couple quick ones about Jens Pulver…

Nothing about his 22 pro wins, his reign as the first UFC lightweight champion, or his legacy as the man who put the lighter weight classes on the map here in the States; we’ll save that for later.

Legend retires, but Pulver's legacy shaped MMA

By Mike Chiappetta, MMA Fighting - It was last October that he told me he was returning to fight. At the time, everybody already assumed he was done. He'd pretty much said so after losing his last match in only 33 seconds.

But Jens Pulver could not go; he was not yet ready. He had to try one more time, make some changes, move his life, his camp, back to his Boise, Idaho roots. Only when he was home, only when he was comfortable could he make that decision.

He told me something that I'll never forget, and that's saying something because Pulver is a fascinating interview, full of candidness and surprises.

Cruz Wins WEC Bantamweight Title; Benavidez Tops Torres

Frank Curreri, WEC – Those who labeled Dominick Cruz to be a light puncher must eat their words following his masterful performance Saturday night against WEC bantamweight champion Brian Bowles. The 4-to-1 underdog battered Bowles over two rounds with crisp punching combinations and leg kicks, and Bowles went back to his corner at the end of round two and did not return for a third round. The unbeaten champion told doctors his hand was broken and opted not to continue fighting, conceding his title to his tearful and overjoyed challenger.
