Will face Duncan in Mexico
Torres will take on Chris Duncan in a lightweight matchup at UFC Mexico on Feb. 24, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Torres is off to an electric run to his UFC career, recording first-round stoppage victories (with POTN bonuses) in each of his first two official UFC bouts. He'll now get a chance to fight in his native Mexico against a fellow up-and-coming who has won his first two UFC fights as well, albeit via decision. Torres has utilized tremendous striking volume to propel his career so far, but he'll need to be cautious of the wrestling capability of Duncan if he wants to remain unbeaten.

Remains perfect in UFC
Torres defeated Nikolas Motta via KO (elbow) a 1:50 of Round 1 at UFC on ESPN 47 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Torres looked shaky in the early going, keeping his chin far too high and getting clipped by Motta a handful of times, at which point he pushed forward and crushed his opponent with an elbow to the face which closed the proceedings in an instant. It would also go on to earn him a well-deserved $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Torres earned his UFC opportunity with a first-round knockout win on Dana White's Contender Series in October 2021. He has since began his official run with the company with back-to-back Round 1 knockout victories. It's fair to wonder how Torres is going to fare if those massive finishing strikes don't materialize, but it's impossible to argue with the results this far.
