WEC 50: Cruz vs. Benavidez 2 was a mixed martial arts event held by World Extreme Cagefighting that took place on August 18, 2010 at The Pearl at The Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada.[2]

Background

This event marked WEC's first visit to Las Vegas since WEC 45 in December 2009 and was also shown on the Versus channel.

Urijah Faber was expected to make his bantamweight debut against Japanese striker Takeya Mizugaki.[3] However, Faber was forced off the card with an injury. As a result, Mizugaki was also pulled from the event.[4] The Faber/Mizugaki bout was simply pushed back, to WEC 52.[5][6] Faber won the rescheduled matchup by first round submission.

Stephan Bonnar served as color commentator for the event along with Todd Harris.[7]

The event drew an average of 316,000 viewers on Versus.[8]
