WEC 50: Cruz vs. Benavidez is set to take place on August 18 from The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The main event will feature bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz(15-1) taking on numberone contender Joseph Benavidez(13-1) in a rematch, the two having previously met at WEC 42.
Both fighters are coming off solid wins, with Cruz defeating Brian Bowles at WEC 47 to take the bantamweight title while Benavidez earned the title shot when he took out Miguel Torres.
The card will feature a co-main event bout between Urijah Faber and Takeya Mizuagaki and will be of particular interest to MMA fans as this will be the first time that the former WEC featherweight champ Faber will be fighting at bantamweight. WEC 50 should be a good one.
