DOMINICK CRUZ AND JOSEPH BENAVIDEZ HEADLINES VERSUS’ AUGUST 18

DOMINICK CRUZ AND JOSEPH BENAVIDEZ HEADLINES VERSUS’ AUGUST 18

NEW YORK, N.Y. – VERSUS, the cable television home of World Extreme Cagefighting® (WEC®), will air its fourth live fight of the year on Wednesday, August 18, at 9 p.m. ET, live from The Pearl at The Palms in Las Vegas, Nev. The main event will feature bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz (15-1) as he defends his title against Joseph Benavidez (12-1), one of the most conditioned athletes in MMA. All WEC events are presented in HD and Spanish language SAP where available.

Cruz won his bantamweight title in March with a second-round TKO of then undefeated champion Brian Bowles. Undefeated since dropping weight to 135 pounds three years ago, Cruz prides himself on his unorthodox stand-up and aggressive wrestling techniques. Title challenger Benavidez is a seasoned wrestler who is coming off two impressive career wins. Last December, he scored a phenomenal knockout over grappler Rani Yahya in the first round and then became the first man to submit former bantamweight champion Miguel Angel Torres. Cruz and Benavidez have fought once before in August 2009, with Cruz winning by unanimous decision.
