Joseph Benavidez will get his first shot at World Extreme Cagefighting gold, and he’ll get a chance to avenge the only loss of his career, as well.
WEC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz early this morning posted a Twitter message stating he and Benavidez will clash in a title fight at WEC 50 in August.
MMAjunkie.com has since confirmed the booking with a source close to the event who said the Versus-televised bout will serve as the night’s headliner.
