Full card set for WEC 42 'Torres vs. Bowles'

The WEC has released the full lineup for its August 9 card featuring a bantamweight title defense by Miguel Torres against Brian Bowles.

Two bantamweight showdowns will headline WEC 42 at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

In the main event, WEC bantamweight champion Miguel Torres (36-1) will put his title on the line against undefeated Brian Bowles (7-0). The fight was slated for WEC 40 but Bowles had to pull out due to a back injury.

Also, the previous number one bantamweight title contender, Takeya Mizugaki (11-3-2), will take on former featherweight title contender Jeff Curran (29-11-1). Mizugaki lost his fight against Torres in April but put himself on the map in America for his gutsy five-round performance against the champ. Curran lost at the same WEC 40 event to up-and-comer Joseph Benavidez.
