BROOMFIELD, Colo. – Despite earning a convincing win over Charlie
Valencia at Thursday’s WEC 51 event, Miguel Torres
sat down at the evening’s post-event press conference looking like
someone had just stolen his lunch money.
Torres’ second-round submission victory came under must-win circumstances, and
the result snapped the first-ever two-fight skid of the former
bantamweight champion’s lengthy career.
But for Torres, the win was just a small step along a lengthy path back
to the top of the 135-pound division, and the time for celebration will
come much later.
