Torres is a Mexican Muay Thai stylist who fights like his nickname, sprinting to finishes with 16 of his 17 wins coming inside the distance and a submission game that punishes panic shots. He announced himself as a contender by flattening Grant Dawson in the first round at UFC 323, then was knocked out by Rafael Fiziev's spinning wheel kick in June 2026. He has never seen a decision that mattered: only one fight in his career has gone to the judges.
