The former WEC Champion, who once stood as the face on the bantamweight division, was cut after a knockout loss to Michael McDonald this passed April at UFC 145. “Angel” leaves the UFC with 2-2 record, which includes wins over Nick Pace and Antonio Banuelos. His first loss inside the octagon came in the shape of a contentious unanimous decision for Demetrious Johnson. The veteran’s release came as a shock to many as a fighter being released 2-2 record is nearly unheard of.
With the past behind him, Torres already looks to the future as he has signed with Titan FC and will be a part of the promotion’s November 2 offering in Hammond, Indiana. The Tristar product continued his announcement by saying, ”I am excited to continue fighting, to regain my focus, and to get back to what made me a champion.” Torres’ ambitions are clear, but as to whether or not he can recapture the glory he once held remains uncertain. It is likely “Angel” will return to the big leagues within a year given the landscape of the bantamweight division outside of the UFC and Bellator banners.
