WEC 47: Bowles vs. Cruz was a mixed martial arts event held by World Extreme Cagefighting on March 6, 2010. It was held at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohiod
The only WEC event held in Ohio, WEC 47 coincided with the Arnold Sports Festival, which annually draws up to 150,000 sports fans to Columbus, Ohio. Previously, the UFC held three cards – UFC 68, UFC 82 and UFC 96 – in Columbus during this festival.
Diego Nunes was originally slated to face Leonard Garcia at this event, but was forced from the card with an injury. Nunes was later replaced by George Roop.[6]
Stephan Bonnar filled in for Frank Mir as color commentator, due to training commitments for Mir. Bonnar was named as the promotion's final permanent color commentator shortly afterwards.
This was the last WEC event to feature announcer Joe Martinez as the regular ring announcer, due to family reasons and to focus full-time on his work with Golden Boy Promotions. Martinez later made a one-off return at WEC 52, as his replacement Bruce Buffer was in Germany to announce UFC 122.
The event drew an estimated 373,000 viewers on Versus.
