Manuel Torres achieved a significant victory in his career, but the fight`s ending is under scrutiny due to a perceived late stoppage by referee Mike Beltran.
In the UFC Mexico co-main event, Torres faced experienced lightweight Drew Dober. Torres inflicted significant damage in the first round. When Dober attempted a desperate takedown, Torres capitalized with a barrage of undefended strikes to the face. Referee Beltran stopped the fight at 1:45 of the first round, despite Dober`s apparent inability to defend himself earlier.
This win marks Torres` fourth UFC victory (4-1 record) and a strong recovery after his loss to Ignacio Bahamondes at UFC 306 in Las Vegas.
MMA professionals and UFC fighters have shared their reactions to Torres` impressive performance and the controversial late stoppage by Beltran.
