Ask 100 MMA fans to name the former WEC bantamweight champion from Indiana, and all 100 of them are liable to say Miguel Torres. And while the Torres response is true – and certainly understandable – Eddie Wineland might have something to say about that.

Wineland was the WEC’s first champ at 135 pounds. He won the belt at WEC 20, knocking out Antonio Banuelos for the title. But that was in the WEC’s pre-Zuffa era, before the big TV deal with Versus and really before “MMA” was a household term. Casual fans not really knowing him could be forgiven. Besides, he lost the belt less than a year later in his first defense at WEC 26.

But on Sunday, at WEC 49 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Wineland goes after his third straight win, and he’ll do it against Will Campuzano to open the televised card on Versus – the latest step on his goal to get another crack at the title.

“You always want to be on the main card – everybody always wants to be seen,” Wineland said. “But whether I’m the first fight or the last fight, as long as I’m there and I get to fight and I get that win, that’s really all that matters.”
