MMA Top 10 Bantamweights: Rise of Cruz, Fall of Torres

by Michael David Smith Filed under: WEC , Bantamweights We saw a major shift in the bantamweight division of mixed martial arts on Saturday night, when two major upsets took place at WEC 47 . The bantamweight title belt, of course, changed hands when Dominick Cruz beat Brian Bowles , who suffered a broken hand and couldn’t keep fighting after the second round. But in what might be an even more significant change in our perceptions of the 135-pounders, Joseph Benavidez thoroughly dominated Miguel Torres , the man who for most of the last few years has been regarded as far and away the best bantamweight in the sport. So now we have to re-assess our thoughts about the bantamweight division as we unveil our latest Top 10 rankings below.
