Former WEC bantamweight champ Miguel Torres suffered his first loss in five years last August at WEC 42 against Brian Bowles. The defeat snapped an impressive seventeen-fight win streak he had compiled.

Torres is now ready to get back on the winning track and has his eyes set on getting a rematch with Bowles.

“It’s not that I have a vendetta against Bowles or I’m pulling the Mir/Lesnar thing where I hate Brian Bowles’ life. I don’t,” Torres told MMA Weekly Radio. “I think he’s a great fighter. I just want to show him the Miguel Torres that should have showed up that day. I want to give him the opportunity to fight the best Miguel Torres that he could have.

It’s not a knock like I think he won by luck or a lucky shot or I think I didn’t do a good job, I just wasn’t prepared the right way. I want to give everybody the show that they should have got the first time.”

Torres is next scheduled to fight Joseph Benavidez at WEC 47 on March 6 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
