Bantamweight champion Miguel Torres was to defend his title against no. 1 contender Brian Bowles, but due to a back injury sustained by Bowles, the WEC replaced him in the main event with newly signed Bantamweight Takeya Mizugaki. Also featured on the card was a match up of former Featherweight title contender Jeff Curran and Joseph Benavidez.
