Torres, one of the flyweights recently cut from the UFC roster, has signed with Brave FC, he told MMA Fighting on Thursday, in a deal he describes as “significantly” better than the one had previously with the UFC.
“It’s definitely multiple times more than what I was getting in the UFC,” Torres said. “Not just money wise, but in terms of respect. ... Brave is respecting me, not just as an expendable fighter, but as an athlete.”
Torres, 26, only made his UFC debut back in June, beating Jarred Brooks by second-round TKO. The former Titan FC flyweight and bantamweight champion fell to Alex Perez via first-round TKO at UFC 227 in August.
