World Extreme Cagefighting today finalized the fight card for WEC 37: Torres vs. Tapia, which takes place on December 3rd at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and airs live on Versus.
A bantamweight championship bout headlines the eleven-bout card as 135-pound title-holder Miguel Torres takes on challenger Manny Tapia.
The now-finalized fight card features:
MAIN CARD
- Miguel Torres (c) vs. Manny Tapia
WEC Bantamweight Championship - Brian Bowles vs. Will Ribeiro
- Wagnney Fabiano vs. Akitoshi Tamura
- Joseph Benavidez vs. Danny Martinez
- Justin Haskins vs. Johny Hendricks
PRELIMINARY CARD
- Ricardo Barros vs. Mark Munoz
- Blas Avena vs. Kevin Knabjian
- Diego Nunes vs. Cole Province
- Alex Karalexis vs. Bart Palaszewski
- Cub Swanson vs. Hirouki Takaya
- Shane Roller vs. Mike Budnik
Wow there’s five names I don’t know on the main card and Shane Roller, Cub Swanson, Alex Karalexis on the prelim? I’m way out of the loop. Just for entertainment value I figure they would be on the main card especially given the other unknowns.
Like I said I’m probably just slow and out of the loop I guess.
Looking forward to Torres for sure. Always gives good lessons and great fights.
Will Rebiero vs. Brian Bowles should be a great fight and so should Fabiano vs. Tamura. Cant wait to see Johny Hendricks finally fight. An intriguing fight seems to be Benavidez vs. Martinez….. both of these fighters are on a streak right now with Benavidez bieng 9-0 and Martinez having won his last 3 fights. The undercard looks great too.
