It was common knowledge that former UFC lightweight champion Jens Pulver (22-12) would return to competition at WEC 47: "Bowles vs. Cruz" from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, on March 6, 2010.

Now we know that "Lil' Evil" will battle Javier Vazquez (13-4) inside the blue cage in a featherweight bout that will be featured on the Versus televised main card.

Vazquez has struggled since joining the promotion, dropping consecutive split decisions at WEC 42 and WEC 43. "Showtime's" biggest strength comes from his submission game, having finished 60 percent of his fights via tapout.

Meanwhile, Pulver, too, is at a crossroads in his career, having lost six of his last seven fights and going virtually winless (1-4) in his WEC career. In fact, this fight may be Pulver's last chance at redemption in a sport he used to dominate not too long ago.

WEC 47 is expected to be headlined by Brian Bowles as he makes his first title defense against the 14-1 Dominick Cruz. Top-shelf bantamweights, Miguel Torres and Joseph Benavidez, will also likely hook 'em up in the co-featured fight of the night to determine the division's next number one contender.
