Quote :
Former WEC bantamweight champion Brian Bowles (8-1 MMA, 5-1 WEC) finally will make his long-awaited return to the cage.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned that Bowles and fellow 135-pound slugger Damacio Page (12-5 MMA, 3-2 WEC) have verbally agreed to meet at UFC on Versus 3.

Bout agreements are expected to be finalized shortly.

While not yet officially announced by the promotion, UFC on Versus 3 takes place March 3 and could take place in Kentucky. Both fighters make their UFC debuts in the contest.

It's currently unknown if the fight will take place on the evening's Versus-televised main card or untelevised preliminary card.

Bowles and Page met once before, at WEC 35 in August 2008. Bowles claimed victory that night with a first-round guillotine-choke win that netted him the evening's "Submission of the Night" bonus.

Bowles has been inactive since a broken hand forced him to quit on the stool in the second round of a WEC 47 main-event contest with Dominick Cruz in March 2010. The fight was Bowles' first defense of the title he earned by knocking out Miguel Torres in August 2009.

The title loss was the first, and to date only, defeat of Bowles' career.

Bowles had been expected to fight in November at WEC 52, but an undisclosed injury suffered in training forced the Georgia-based fighter out of a planned bout with Wagnney Fabiano.

Meanwhile, Page returns to the cage after suffering a submission loss to Demetrious Johnson at WEC 52. Page fought at WEC 52 for the first time in 13 months after training injuries forced him to withdraw from planned fights at WEC 45 and WEC 48.

The disappointing loss snapped a two-fight win-streak for Page, who needed just 80 total seconds of cage time to earn stoppage wins over Will Campuzano and Marcos Galvao during the recent run.

They better not put this on the prelims while some irrelevant Alessio Sakara type fights on the main card.

Let's hope they put it on the main card, it's a former champ making a comeback.

I like Brian Bowles, I still wonder what would have happen if he didn't break his hand against Cruz. Not that Cruz didn't beat him fare and square.

Yea as I recall Cruz was getting the best of Bowles, but as we've seen Cruz tends to do that to a lot of ppl as of late

No one Cruz has fought though has the kind of power Bowles has over five rounds. And Cruz still ends up busted up and cut after a five rounds with guys like Benavidez and Jorgensen who have shorter reaches.

Sweet shit. I would have to think this is a main card fight. Early on in this merger, I expect the UFC to really promote these new weight classes and these are two top 10 guys. As for the actual fight, Bowles' accuracy wins the day
