TWO RISING STARS SET TO COLLIDE AT HARD ROCK ON AUGUST 9
BENAVIDEZ AND CRUZ MEET IN PIVOTAL BANTAMWEIGHT BOUT
WEC® PRESENTS: TORRES VS. BOWLES
From The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada - Sunday, August 9;
First Bout at 3 p.m. PT
Fight to Air Live on VERSUS at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT
Benavidez
Las Vegas, NV (USA) – Two of the sport’s most well-rounded athletes have officially agreed to meet on August 9 in a bout that could very well determine the next bantamweight title challenger. Undefeated Joseph Benavidez of Sacramento, Calif. takes on once-beaten Dominick Cruz of San Diego, Calif. at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in a fight that already has fans buzzing.
A fast-paced, crisp striker with good grappling skill, the 24-year-old Benavidez (10-0) burst onto the WEC bantamweight scene last December with a unanimous decision win over Danny Martinez. The New Mexico native, who now trains out of Urijah Faber’s camp in Sacramento, followed up the win over Martinez by dominating tested veteran Jeff Curran in April en route to a second consecutive decision victory. With two WEC wins under his belt, Benavidez hopes to catapult himself into title contention with a win over Cruz.
“Cruz is someone I’ve looked at for a while,” Benavidez said. “I felt like a clash with him would happen in the future. Once he dropped to 135, I thought he would pose problems for anyone. He’s as dangerous as anyone in the division. This is a fight between the top two contenders. I’m pretty sure whoever wins this will be going for the title.”
With victories over Charlie Valencia, Ian McCall, and Ivan Lopez in his WEC career, Cruz, also 24 years old, has earned the right to fight the bantamweight’s best. Training with UFC veteran Brandon Vera at the Alliance Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., Cruz (13-1) has refined his standup game and become one of the better strikers in the WEC. Given that his only career loss came at the hands of Benavidez’s training partner Urijah Faber in 2007, Cruz is hoping to get revenge by defeating Benavidez on August 9.
“I think he’s a very good athlete with a lot of natural talent and that’s what has gotten him as far as he has,” Cruz said. “I’m going to beat Joseph Benavidez because I am a more complete MMA fighter and I’m just as athletic and in better condition than he is. I have nothing but respect for him. I’ve seen all of his fights and he looked real impressive against Curran. But MMA comes down to style matchups. It’s all about how you fight somebody that leads to the win. I think a lot of people haven’t gone at him with the right game plan. I will.”

Marcus "The Wrecking Ball" Hicks (8-2 MMA, 3-2 WEC) will look to snap a two-fight losing streak when he meets fellow WEC lightweight Shane Roller (5-2 MMA, 2-1 WEC) in August at WEC 42.
A source close to the negotiations today told mmajunkie.com bout agreements have been signed and that an official announcement could be made shortly.
The fight is expected to be the featured bout on the preliminary card for WEC 42, which takes place Aug. 9 at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
The night's main card, including a bout between WEC bantamweight champion Miguel Torres and Brian Bowles, airs on Versus.
Hicks quickly entered the lightweight title picture with submission wins (all via guillotine choke) over Sergio Gomez, Scott McAfee and Ed Ratcliff in his first three WEC bouts. He then earned his title shot with champ Jamie Varner but suffered a first-round TKO loss at the August 2008 event.
Hicks looked to rebound in March at WEC 39 but suffered a close majority-decision loss to former champ Rob McCullough.
Now, Hicks faces another stern test in Roller, a four-time high school state wrestling champion and three-time All-American wrestler at Oklahoma State University. Roller won his first two WEC fights via guillotine choke (over Todd Moore and the then-undefeated Mike Budnik) before suffering an April WEC 40 first-round TKO loss to fast-rising contender Ben Henderson.
