Cruz, who won the belt from Brian Bowles in March, makes his first title defense when he rematches Benavidez, who looks to avenge the only loss (split decision at WEC 42) of his career.
Faber, meanwhile, drops to 135 pounds after two failed attempts to reclaim the featherweight title. The WEC’s most popular fighter meets Mizugaki, who looks for his third win in four WEC fights since a title loss to-then champ Miguel Torres in April 2009.
