On December 3, Miguel Torres sucessfully defended his WEC Bantamweight belt againist Manny Tapia.
Torres (35 - 1) is considered by many as one of the top pound for pound fighters in the world. Sherdog.com currently ranks Torres #6 in it's list of top pound for pound figters.
Tapia (10 - 1 - 1) was handed his first loss in this title shot but still seems to be in contention for the title.
The first round of the match seemed even with both fighters pressing the action. Torres was able to catch Tapia with some a good hits that would make the difference in scoring the round.
In the second round a different Torres came out the corner. This time Torres was more aggressive striking Tapia more frequently before knocking him to ground and pounding him for the TKO victory.
Don't take my word for it. Watch the fight.
Torres has some fancy moves and definitly showed them off in this bout. The little kick roll he did at the end of the first had me rewinding the vid a few times.
