It’s an eyesore to see someone at the age of 37 on TUF. To make it better he does have extensive background as an Olympic wrestler. He went on to win the silver medal in the Pan American Games in the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Being 37 in MMA, your career is only going to last so long, especially with a bit of fight mileage. It doesn’t help that Torres has been knocked out cold by a lesser opponent. Torres is a good wrestler that’s super aggressive and hits hard. However, while he is aggressive Torres leaves himself exposed, practically asking to get knocked out. Even when he completes takedowns he doesn’t do anything special on top. Being so reckless on the feet he doesn’t have the tools to be successful. Although Torres is the Olympic wrestler he’s not even the best wrestler in the house.
