This article provides a preview of the UFC Mexico co-main event featuring Manuel Torres and Drew Dober in a lightweight bout at the CDMX Arena in Mexico City on Saturday.
Manuel Torres, who joined the UFC in 2021 after impressing on the Contender Series, has quickly become known for his thrilling fighting style. “El Loco” has secured first-round finishes in his first three UFC fights, earning Performance of the Night bonuses each time. However, in his most recent fight at UFC 306 against Ignacio Bahamondes, Torres suffered a first-round knockout loss.
