Welcome to the UFC @ShortyTorres125!! He gets the finish in round 2! #UFCUtica https://t.co/reuP4QWzzq
Jose "Shorty" Torres was looking to make a splash on Saturday night in his UFC debut at Fight Night Utica, and he did just that...but not in the way he was expecting. Facing Jarred Brooks, Torres was the beneficiary of a silly self-KO.
Following a solid first round, Brooks elevated Torres for a double-leg takedown. As Torres tried to escape over the top, however, Brooks decided to turn the move into a slam by flopping backwards. Unfortunately, Brooks didn't tuck his chin while falling which resulted in him inadvertently smashing the back of his head on the canvas:
Torres went to scramble out of the bad position, but soon realized that his opponent was badly hurt from the impact.
