Miguel Torres to return at WEC 37 on Dec. 3

Miguel Torres will defend his WEC bantamweight belt at WEC 37 on Dec. 3, the fighter told MMAFighting.com today at the UFC 90 press conference in Chicago.

"Next thing for me is Dec. 3," Torres told MMAFighting.com. "No venue yet, but they might try to come here in Chicago, it's a big possibility."

When asked who he'll fight next, Torres said he expects to fight Manny Tapia -- a fight that he's very well interested in.

"I want to fight Tapia just for the fact that we were supposed to fight in June," Torres said. "They're leaning towards him, and also another guy, a Japanese guy, Kenji Osawa, and there's always the [Yoshiro] Maeda rematch."
