It wasn’t that long ago that the WEC’s bantamweight division appeared
little more than a showcase for then-champion Miguel Torres.
My, how things have changed.
At this past weekend’s WEC 47 event in Columbus, Ohio, Joseph Benavidez
stunned Torres with a one-sided submission win and likely earned
himself a shot at the 135-pound title. But Scott Jorgensen also landed
one of the more memorable finishes in recent memory in his bout with
Chad George, and he made a legitimate claim for contender status.
