That would have been so sick if he landed that!!!! Probably would have KOd him. He was trying to time Tapia while he was coming in but Tapia kind of fainted and popped back when he saw Torres move.

Tapia feinted back like he was scared another jab was coming after eating about 50 of them before that axe kick.

would've been legendary if it had finished the fight

Have you seen any of his other fights? I haven't seen any, just highlights and what not. From what I've seen and read, he seems like a bad mother!!! I'm gonna have to download some more of his fights. Anyone have any Torres fights they'd recommend.?

Somebody has tried this before in UFC 3,Harrold Howard i think his name was.He also missed.

Thanks for that bit of trivia. I have never seen that kick attempted in all the fights I have watched.

Imagine the impact that it would have if a shot like this landed.

I know man. It would be crazy. That's some straight up Mortal Combat **** right there.

Thanks.:biggthump

If he had taken just one more step forward, he probably would have landed that!!!!

When I was watching this last night I looked at in shock. I thought I was seein things to so had to rewind it.

Howard's would have for sure hurt if not KO'd his opponent. It had a bit more velocity to it vs. Miguel's kick.

the axe kicks are great. so are the spinning backfists....

i have all his fights since he's come to the WEC. his fight with Yoshiro Maeda from early this year is a fight of the year candidate. his match againg Chase Beebe when he won the title is pretty much a bjj clinic. i also got 1 of his other fights before he got to the WEC.

dude is like a 135 Anderson, only his area of strength is BJJ. his ground game is top notch and aggressive, always transitioning trying to finish the fight. his standup is improving, but going to the ground with Torres is almost certain death.

he definitely belongs on p4p lists right now.

My favorite spinning backfist of all time is the one Dan Henderson caught Wanderlei Silva with before knocking him out. Twas epic!!!
