Miguel Torres said the Tristar Gym where he’s gone for virtually every fight camp in his recent career is usually packed.
These days, it’s a traffic jam. He estimates there are at least five fighters training for the upcoming UFC 154, which takes place Nov. 17 in Montreal, and another 10 fighting in gym head Firas Zahabi’s new event 13 days later. Another 10 or 12 are competing elsewhere.
Hence, Zahabi wasn’t available to corner Torres for his next fight, which takes place Saturday at World Series of Fighting 1.
