WEC’s Dominick Cruz confident he has tools to beat champ Brian Bowles at WEC 47

WEC bantamweight challenger Dominick Cruz considers himself one of MMA’s true believers, no matter what worldly rewards lie in wait down the road.

Cruz (14-1 MMA, 4-1 WEC), who fights bantamweight champion Brian Bowles at WEC 47 in March, packed up his life in Tucson, Ariz., almost four years ago to become a full-time MMA fighter in San Diego, Calif. He’s built an impressive resume in the face of steep odds at making a handsome living in the 135-pound class.

He hasn’t upgraded his lifestyle much since those early days, but if he beats Bowles, he just might treat himself to one worldly comfort: a framed bed.
