Not going to finish him early, more like going to get finished early.

Miguel has a 47-1 record and that one loss he avanged a long time ago…not to mention that during that he only got that loss because he was studying for finals…My prediction is he will use the same exact submission as he did on chase bebe..

I want to see Miguel Torres invent a new submission just for this guy.

why, what’s there to dislike about the guy?? he’s an awesome fighter, and intelligent and eloquent speaker, a great teacher, he’s all business in the cage, and he’s got a totally kick ass mullet.

He is all business in and out of the cage. If you want to learn Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, MMA he will be there 100% to show you as long as you are dedicated. In his gym he only has guys that are willing to work hard and follow his work ethic. Best MMA Gym I ever joined and awesome teacher he is.

Nice contridictory statement. “He’s working on his stamina, but he’s not going to worry about it.” Genius……

Yeah miguel definitely makes quik work of this cat. I really can’t see this lasting more than 2 rounds, and that’s if miguel wants to keep his stand up sharp. Miguel can take this fight to ground and finish whenever he wants. I’m more interested in the curran vs benavidez fight. That’s a toss up fight imo, with a title shot to come in near future for winner. I’m hearing good things about this raphael kid, can’t wait to see him in action.
