With a pair of high-profile bantamweight bouts scheduled for WEC 47 in
March, top contender Damacio Page has found himself
in an unfortunate position as the odd man out.
But while champ Brian Bowles and top challenger Dominick Cruz will
contest the 135-pound title, and Joseph Benavidez and Miguel Torres
will compete in an important contender’s matchup, Page wants all four
of them to know he’ll soon be ready to reclaim his spot.
A devastating shoulder injury is healing just fine, thank you, and
watching the division reshape in his absence has just fueled Page’s
hunger.

Fighting in the evening’s very first bout at “WEC 46: Varner vs.
Henderson” earlier this month, WEC bantamweight and Mt. Pleasant native
Will Campuzano (7-1 MMA, 1-1 WEC) had to wait several hours to find out
his rousing unanimous-decision win over Coty “Ox” Wheeler had been
named the evening’s “Fight of the Night.”
But after making just $6,000 for the fight, it was certainly worth the
wait to learn he was being given another $10,000 for the award.
But despite the influx of cash, Campuzano recently told MMAjunkie.com for The Dallas Morning News that he only has one small plan for the cash.
