One of the more reserved an unassuming fighters you’re likely to ever
meet, WEC bantamweight champion Brian Bowles (8-0 MMA, 5-0 WEC) has
risen quickly through the ranks for the world’s best 135-pound fighters.
And while life hasn’t changed much for the Georgia resident, the
discussions concerning him have. Some consider Bowles among the top-10
pound-for-pound fighters in the world, while others write off his stunning
2009 victory over Miguel Torres as the result of a “lucky punch.”
Bowles recently said he’s not concerned too much with either camp’s
opinion. Instead, he’s just focused on a WEC 47 bout with Dominick Cruz
(14-1 MMA, 4-1 WEC).
