(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 03, 2010 ) Columbus, OH - While the first two months of the new decade have left something to be desired in the minds of many MMA fans worldwide, March of 2010 looks to usher in the most packed month of professional fighting action in since last Summer with a slough of high-octane fight cards being presented both free on TV and on Pay Per View throughout the month.

Looking to kick off the action will be the Versus broadcast of WEC 47: Bowles vs. Cruz, and should you be unable to follow the event live on TV, or if you will only be able to view the televised main card, be sure to check out the official Twitter feed of ProFighting-fans.com @ProFightingFans. Luke Jernigan, Director of Marketing for Pro Fighting Fans, will be in attendance on Saturday night in Columbus, Ohio providing complete coverage of the entire, 10-fight event. In addition, Pro Fighting Fans will also feature the official WEC 47 results on their popular MMA news site.

WEC 47: Bowles vs. Cruz, which features the first title defense of newly-crowned WEC Bantamweight Champion Brian Bowles when he takes on highly regarded contender Dominick “The Dominator” Cruz, kicks off this Saturday, March 6 from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio with the entire main card airing live on the Versus Channel.

Originally pegged as a heavy underdog heading into his August 2009 title fight with former champion Miguel Torres, undefeated challenger Bowles (8-0 MMA) left no doubt as to who was the better man that night as he became the first and only man to defeat the champion inside the distance, finishing Torres off by knockout part way into the first round to claim the belt.

Although he debuted for the WEC sporting an undefeated record back in 2007, challenger Cruz (14-1 MMA) tasted the first and only defeat of his professional career when former WEC Featherweight Champion Urijah Faber submitted him in the first round. Since dropping down to his more natural weight class of 135lbs, Cruz has reeled off five straight wins—four in the WEC—with the most recent being an impressive Unanimous Decision against aggressive contender Joseph Benavidez last August to become the undisputed challenger to the bantamweight crown.

Also on the card will be a plethora of WEC mainstays when former champion Torres returns to action for the first time since losing his belt to take on Benavidez in a battle that is likely to have immediate title ramifications for the victor. In addition, former UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver will look to reestablish himself in the packed 145lb division when he returns to action against Javier Vasquez in one of the featured bouts of the evening, following the anticipated main card debut of former IFL standout L.C. Davis.

Be sure to check out the official Twitter feed of ProFightingFans Saturday night to get the results as they happen and visit ProFighting-fans.com today for some of the most comprehensive MMA coverage & WEC news online.
