The Entram Gym product secured a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award for his first-round stoppage of Drew Dober in their lightweight showdown. Torres dropped Dober with a one-two and then sealed his victory with about 15 unanswered hammerfists to the side of the head as his opponent clinged to his leg. The official time of the stoppage came 1:45 into Round 1.
Elsewhere, Edgar Chairez pocketed a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” payment for a submission of C.J. Vergara in a featured flyweight matchup. Chairez set the stage for the finish by dropping his adversary with a left hook and follow-up blows. From there, he worked his way to the back, locked in a face crank and forced a tapout at the 2:30 mark of the opening period.
Earlier, David Martinez had a debut to remember, scoring a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check for a finish of Saimon Oliveira in a main-card bantamweight encounter. The Mexico City native dropped his man with a knee and then unloaded with hammerfists on the canvas until the bout was halted 4:38 into the opening round.
Finally, Ateba Abega Gautier garnered the evening’s final $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus by putting away Jose Medina in the card’s featured prelim at middleweight. A perfectly placed knee from Gautier ended his opponent’s night 3:32 into Round 1.
