Miguel Torres vs. Joseph Benavidez Likely for WEC 47

(Torres celebrates a victory; Benavidez mourns a fallen hero.)

Seven months after finding himself on the business end of the 11th-greatest knockout of 2009, former WEC bantamweight ruler Miguel Torres will return to the cage at WEC 47 (March 6, Columbus), according to a new report by MMA Mania. Torres is likely to face off against Team Alpha Male product Joseph Benavidez (11-1), who recently defeated Rani Yahya by first-round TKO at WEC 45. Benavidez’s sole loss came in August against Dominick Cruz, who is now slated to take on Bowles for the 135-pound strap at WEC 47.

Torres has been laying low since his loss to Bowles, but according to his Twitter page, he’s been splitting his time between training, watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and working it. In other words, when it’s time to throw down with Benavidez, he’ll be ready.

How can there be a "Team Alpha Male"? That kind of saying "an army of one" and that doesn't make any sense.

@ 831 Son

Damn right about 'sunny'. As matter of fact, my wife bought me the RIOT t-shirt for Christmas that Mac always wears. It is the bee's knees.

Now shut the fuck up before I push your shit in, you cali-bitch-fag-gimp-retard-kimbo blowing- tito loving-rim licking- motherfucker or I will kick the bitch out of you.

Happy New years, buddy.

Torres will most likely come in over weight because Frank Mir will be hanging from his balls.
