The WEC recently made two more bouts official for its loaded WEC 35 card on August 3.

Micah Miller (9-1) will battle up-and-comer Josh Grispi (8-1) in a featherweight showdown and undefeated bantamweight Brian Bowles (5-0) will tangle with Tapout reality show fan favorite Damacio Page (10-3).

The announcement is expected to complete the entire televised card for WEC 35, which is headlined by three world title fights.

Miller will look to put together back-to-back wins since suffering his first professional defeat against Cub Swanson at WEC 32. Miller rebounded from that defeat with a bang, knocking out Chance Farrar in the first round at WEC 33 in February.

His opponent, Grispi, will also look to tack on two straight in the WEC. He is fresh off his first round submission victory over rugged WEC vet Mark Hominick.

Bowles will attempt to ride his momentum since a unanimous decision victory over Charlie Valencia at WEC 34. Bowles, 28, has only been in the sport for little more than two years; however, he is on quite a roll in his young career, going 5-0 and 2-0 in the WEC.

Page -- also known as the "Angel of Death" -- shined in his WEC debut wheb he stepped in for an injured Jesse Moreng to defeat Scott Jorgensen at WEC 33 in exciting fashion.

Both fights have the potential to be show stoppers, which will be hard to do in such amazing company. WEC is truly a night of champions -- Brian Stann, Jamie Varner and Carlos Condit will all defend their straps and be in action at "The Joint" in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

And you can take it all in for FREE on Versus at 9 p.m. ET on August 3.

I thought Filho vs Sonnen II was on this card as well. Either way should be a great card, gotta love the WEC.

I hope Bowles beats Damacio just because Damacio is aligned with those numnuts from Tapout. I realize they do a lot of good for the sport and for fighters, but is it really necessary to roll around in those ridiculous costumes? God, they annoy the piss out of me. Also, Lewisville, Texas’ own Marcus Hicks is going to bring Jamie Varner’s title reign to a short and abrupt end.

The WEC is coming up, I think their weakest division is the middleweight divison they should bring some of those guys from the TUF 7 show, and on a seperate issue Dana should bust a new twist to the TUF show that would create excitement, WEC Urijah Faber, and WEC Miguel Torres coaches for TUF at the end champion vs champion face-off.
