Miguel Torres is the current WEC Bantamweight Champion who has been rumored to have been in hundreds of underground fights back in the "Dark days" of MMA. Torres is possibly one of the Zuffa owned promotions best fighters and owns a better record than Fedor at 34-1. He has won 15 straight fights and has not loss a fight since 2003 by decision to Ryan Ackerman. A loss he later redeemed when he beat Ackerman by Armbar. Now in a interview with MMAMadhouse Torres expressed his frustration of waiting for his next possible fight with either Manny Tapia or Brian Bowles. The interesting part comes at the end when he mentions fighting opponents from different weight classes, hint, hint Urijah Faber."I think Tapia is at the front of the line, but he just messed up his knee. So I don’t know. I’ll fight Bowles — he looks good. And if he doesn't get the next shot I’m sure we’ll cross paths one of these days if he keeps winning. I don’t really care. I’ll fight anybody, anywhere. He dosen’t even have to be 135 pounds.”
As we all know neither Faber or Torres have made it a secret about possibly fighting in the future in a WEC super fight. This would easily be a fight the WEC will use to sell its two younger stars on Versus, as the last event that had both fighters had solid ratings. This would be a treat for fans who have asked themselves the same question since we began watching both fighters on cable TV last year. As we all know Dana White has given his blessing to BJ Penn to go back up in weight to compete at Welterweight against Georges St.Pierre in December. The fight could also possibly happen down the road as WEC looks to separate itself from the UFC's shadow.
