Did we just witness a complete massacre at UFC Mexico? The Drew Dober vs. Manuel Torres showdown was pure pandemonium unleashed by the Mexican warrior. Both fighters came in strong, but Torres clearly understood the assignment, securing a dominant, knockout victory against Dober— all within the very first round. But wait, the win didn’t come without controversy. Despite Torres’s impressive performance, the MMA community has launched a full-scale attack on the referee. The question is — why? Let’s dive into the chaos.
As he touched gloves with Drew Dober, Torres knew what he had to do. He wasted no time before launching a front kick to Dober’s body, shaking his will completely. The Denver, Colorado fighter confidently took centre stage after the kick; however, ‘El Loco’ continued his barrage of strikes, unleashing a sharp one-two combination followed by a powerful body kick.
Without any hesitation on his mind, the Mexican fighter threw a head kick as soon as he got the opportunity, followed by a lightning-fast one-two from Torres that sent Dober crashing to the canvas. As Torres sensed a finish, he charged forward as Dober became desperate to keep his composure. Soon after the leg kicks, ‘El Loco’ rained down a barrage of strikes, which forced the referee to intervene, waving off the fight.
So, why was this fight controversial? The referee should have intervened much earlier, as Torres landed several unnecessary shots that could have severely damaged Dober. As the match concluded, the Denver, Colorado fighter conceded his third back-to-back defeat and the MMA community took to their X handle to react upon the fight.
