He was considered, alongside Anderson Silva, Georges St. Pierre and Fedor Emelianenko, to be one of the world&#8217;s best pound-for-pound fighters.<\/p>\n<p>Enter Brian Bowles, who positively dominated Torres at WEC 42 and became a champion himself.  Was Bowles the real deal, or was Torres simply overhyped?<\/p>\n<p>The question was quite possibly answered at WEC 47&#8211;both Torres and Bowles suffered crushing, upset defeats in the card&#8217;s most high-profile bouts.<\/p>\n<p>For Bowles, it meant losing his title to Dominick Cruz via stoppage after the second round.  For Torres, it meant tapping out to Joseph Benavidez midway through round two.<\/p>\n<p>In both cases, the landscape of the WEC bantamweight division was changed.  Full WEC47 results follow:<\/p>\n<p>Ricardo Lamas b. Bendy Casimir via KO (knee) at 3:43 of Round One<br \/>\nFredson Paixo b.
