Agreed. Fighting five or six fights to pay tuition, helping out the community, and not saying he’s successful till one of his students is a world champion. The guy is just great for the sport.

Oh and one more thing, if Dana White wants to penetrate the Mexican market, he needs to ditch the others because Miguel Torres is the perfect candidate to do that.

What are you talking about? You know Zuffa(Dana) owns WEC also right? Therefore, they uh, do have the division to do things with them.

Best pound for pound MMA fighter in the world.

Unfortunately, the casual MMA fan has never seen him fight and doesn’t even know him. Proof – This thread’s been on here for about 2 days, and when I made this comment, there were only 14 comments previous to mine…effin’ pathetic..

Wow! Agreed. This kid has got it together in all aspects – his fight game and personal life.

This video just reinforces to me why Torres is one of my favourite fighters. Paying his way through university by fighting is very cool!

Agree with all the posts here. The guy is quickly becoming one of my favorite fighters and person in mma. If I had to pick a person out of all high profile trainers to train with, it would, without a doubt be Miguel.
