WEC 47, headlined by bantamweight champ Brian Bowles vs. Dominick Cruz, drew 8,345 fans to the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, which is likely to host another WEC event next March.

Roop and Garcia fought to a rare split draw on the WEC 47 preliminary card after Roop lost a point for a low blow in the final frame, but their exciting showdown earned the pair of UFC veterans “Fight of the Night” honors.

Pettis scored “Knockout of the Night” with a first-round head kick KO of Danny Castillo that made the event’s Versus broadcast, edging out Ricardo Lamas’ knockout of Bendy Casimir that opened the WEC 47 card.

Scott Jorgensen’s brutal 31-second guillotine choke of Chad George on the WEC 47 prelims was an early front-runner for “Submission of the Night,” but bantamweight contender Jospeh Benavidez stole the award with a guillotine of his own, upsetting former champ Miguel Torres in the second-round of the WEC 47 co-headliner.

The bout capped off “WEC 47: Bowles vs. Cruz,” which took place at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio and aired live on Versus.

Bowles struggled to mount any offense after breaking his right hand in his first punch of the fight, and after being bloodied by the elusive Cruz, who used effective footwork to dodge Bowles’ attempts while tagging him with counters, was forced to call it quits after the second frame.

Cruz improves to 15-1 with his sixth-straight victory, while Bowles will have to wait for his hand to heal before looking to rebound from his first career loss, which dropped him to 8-1.

In the WEC 47 co-headliner, bantamweight contender Joseph Benavidez dominated former title-holder Miguel Torres, eventually gashing him open midway through the second round before securing a guillotine that forced Torres to tap, sealing the upset.

Also on the main card, veteran Jens Pulver likely fought for the final time in his hall of fame career after suffering a first-round submission to Javier Vazquez, while LC Davis and Bart Palaszewski also picked up wins.

The WEC 47 preliminary card featured several highlight reel stoppages, including Scott Jorgensen’s31-second guillotine of Chad George and Anthony Pettis’ head kick KO of Danny Castillo in the opening round. Fredson Paixao and Ricardo Lamas also scored first-round wins on the prelims, while Chad Mendes earned a unanimous decision in his WEC debut.

Featherweights Leonard Garcia and George Roop fought to a split draw on the undercard after Roop lost a point in the final round for a low blow.

After bouncing back with a win over Jameel Massouh, Garcia dropped a unanimous decision to Manny Gamburyan in November in his most-recent fight.

Varner, the WEC’s lightweight champion who returned to action for the first time in nearly a year, dictated the pace of the fight early, but the interim title-holder Henderson rebounded in the third, quickly grabbing a guillotine choke midway through the frame that forced Varner to tap almost immediately.

Henderson improves to 11-1 with his ninth-straight win, and a rematch with Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone is likely next following his fourth-consecutive victory in the WEC, while Varner falls to 16-3, snapping a five-fight win streak.

In the co-main event, Faber and Assuncao went back-and-fouth over the opening two rounds before the former featherweight champ Faber got the upper hand in the third and forced Assuncao to tap to a rear naked choke.

The victory moves Faber to 23-3 and a showdown with featherweight champion Jose Aldo looms, while Assuncao falls to 14-2 after having his six-fight win streak halted.

Kamal Shalorus, former featherweight champ Mike Brown, and Deividas Taurosevicius were also victorious on the WEC 46 main card.
