Former WEC bantamweight champion Miguel Torres (38-3 MMA, 6-2 WEC) is expected to meet Antonio Banuelos (18-6 MMA, 9-5 WEC) on the preliminary main card of UFC 126, according to a recent report from Heavy.com.

UFC 126 takes place Feb. 5 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Torres is going to be on SPIKE.

You would think so.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Banuelos looks like a miniature version of Paul Buentello.

So rumored card that I read on mmajunkie.

• Champ Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort (for middleweight title)*
  
• Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin*
  
• Ryan Bader vs. Jon Jones*
  
• Jake Ellenberger vs. Jon Fitch*
  
• Antonio Banuelos vs. Miguel Torres*

Big fan if that's the card.

They updated and said it will be on the main card

McLovin it.

Torres always does awesome against the 125'rs who fight at 135 like this(cept Joe). Banuelos has remained a tough guy in this division for years but tailor made for Torres. Expect a replay of the Tapia and Valencia fights.

Love this fight. Banuelos is an experienced veteran of the division with almost 15 WEC fights. He has been a staple of the division since it's inception and was the first person to challenge a defending BW champion. Torres' run did more for the division in terms of making its champion a popular, pound for pound candidate, his first WEC fight was in late 2007 and his run more or less started in 2008. Banuelos has been a WEC staple since 06 and had his first bout in 02.

This is no gimmie for Torres. In his last five bouts, Banuelos is 4-1 with a pair of split fights to challenger Scott Jorgensen, but I expect this bout to look something like his fights with Tapia and Valencia, but if Antonio has his say, it will look more like his fight with Joseph Benavidez.
