Set to face Fialho at Bellator 207
Torres will fight Andre Fialho at Bellator 207 on Oct. 12.
ANALYSIS
Torres lost his Bellator debut via submission, but he had won five fights prior to the defeat. The 33-year-old Mexican has been more reliant on decisions in recent victories, which may prove to be troublesome against his younger, taller opponent who collected seven of his nine victories either by KO or TKO. Torres has a bit more professional experience than Fialho, though Fialho has actually spent more time in the Bellator circuit, compiling a 3-1 record. Regardless, Torres certainly has his work cut out for him in this bout.

Gives up a submission against Neiman Gracie at Bellator 198
Torres lost to Neiman Gracie via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 3:18 of Round 2 at Bellator 198 on Saturday in Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Torres competed on the 13th season of "The Ultimate Fighter" back in 2011. Since then, he has fought mostly on small shows with a one-fight stop in World Series of Fighting. He came into this fight riding a four-fight winning streak. In the first round, it looked like Torres might be able to survive on the ground with Gracie. However, that was not the case. In the second round, Gracie scored a takedown, passed to mount and finished with an arm-triangle choke. Torres is game and probably can win fights in Bellator, but this was a tough stylistic fight for him.
