Another pair of fighters have been signed for a bout at WEC 42 as Joseph Benavidez and Dominic Cruz have been signed for the event, according to sources close to the fighters on Wednesday.  The fight could very well produce a contender for the 135 pound title.

Benavidez has gotten off to a good start in the WEC, racking up two impressive victories – including a decision over Jeff Curran at WEC 40; meanwhile, Cruz has amassed four straight wins, with 3 of them in the WEC.  These wins came after a loss to Urijah Faber in March 2007.
