Have we forgotten about Miguel Torres already? A few years ago Torres was 'THE' bantamweight fighter of MMA. His record was an impressive 37-1. After a string of losses, a subpar UFC record and not one but two idiotic posts on twitter, Torres is fighting for some sense of relevance.
The mighty has fallen hard. After dropping both his fights in the WSOF, Miguel Torres is back on the regional circuit. Check out his most recent fight from over the weekend in its entirety here.
This isn't the type of effort that will bring Torres back into the UFC, far from it. A win is a win though. Maybe if he continues on this track, with two to three more victories against journeymen, he may become marketable again.
I for one wouldn't mind seeing Miguel Torres in a Bellator bantamweight tournament. Because honestly who is even in Bellator's bantamweight division? He might not win a title but at least he could give one of Bellator's lower weight fighters some name value.
It's unfortunate that we were never able to see a Urijah Faber vs Miguel Torres match up in the UFC.
Both fighters at one time were the unbeatable champs of their respected divisions. Their was an opportunity in the UFC to make this happen, but now that feels like so long ago.
Watch in these two videos Miguel Torres' fall from grace.
He was never able to fully recover from these bouts, at least not yet.
