Bowles delighted with Bantamweight title

Brian Bowles impressed and caused one of the biggest MMA upsets so far this year when he defeated Miguel Torres at WEC 42.

Bowles won the bantamweight title following a shocking first-round knockout of Torres on Sunday night in Las Vegas.

“I was just confident that I could win,” Bowles said after the fight. “I convinced myself that I could beat him.”

Torres was knocked unconscious on the canvas following several punches to his face from Bowles and his record went from 37-1 to 37-2.

Bowles currently holds an 8-0 record and the bantamweight champion of the world plans to keep hold of his title for the long run.

“I won this belt,” Bowles said. “I earned it, and I want to keep on defending it.”
