Last week, the wheels were set in motion for Jose “Shorty” Torres to finally make his long-awaited UFC debut. He’s set to fight Jarred Brooks at UFC Fight Night 131 in Utica, New York.
Torres said he was finishing his dinner when he received a call from his management who had just spoken to UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard. The Titan FC flyweight and bantamweight dual-champion had been preparing to make a bid for his third professional title at featherweight, so he had been bulking up.
