Bantamweight champion and top 5 PFP fighter in the world Miguel Torres (36-1) was defeated by relative newcomer Brian Bowles (7-0) last night by 1st round KO. What makes this loss so stunning is that Torres was on a 17 fight win streak. It should be noted that Torres took 3-5 punches after he was out in what was a very late stoppage.
This just proves that one punch can change or end a fight for anyone.
Elsewhere on the card Dominick Cruz defeated Joe Benevides by decision for the next shot at Bowles.
Shocked!! They were buliding up Torres to be the face of the WEC since Urijah Faber cant beat Mike Brown. Torres just had a bad night and it happens. He will win his next fight and get a shot at the winner of Cruz-Bowles
