Looking forward to Bowles fighting TOrres. Bowles has looked good in the WEC already. Curious to see how long he can hang with Miguel
Yeah me too. Im a big fan of Brian Bowls’. I wish they would have had him wait a fight or two first though. Im not sure he’s ready for Miguel Angel just yet, but either way it should be interesting to see hoqw it pans out.
ben henderson can bust heads
cant wait to see my boy Cub fight and hand nunes his first loss in the cage! gonna be sick! 760 baby! so cal! Cub Swanson! feature champ!
Cub is going down is this fight.(not that thats what i want to see) but that is whats going to happen.

This will be my first live WEC event. I was hoping Faber would be on the card since at one time he was rumored to be, but I’m still excited!
