EXCITING MIDDLEWEIGHT MATCHUP! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to its APEX venue in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sat., April 6, 2024, with an action-packed, five-round main event featuring No. 7-seeded 185-pound contender, Brendan Allen, running it back with No. 14-ranked Chris Curtis. “Action Man” — who is filling in for the “freak” injured Marvin Vettori — scored an upset win over Allen back in 2021 (watch it). In UFC Vegas 90’s ESPN+-streamed co-main event, former Featherweight hopeful, Alexander Hernandez, looks to get back on track at the expense of dangerous Octagon veteran, Damon Jackson.
Camacho hasn’t competed in two years but still came out swinging ready for war. Torres was happy to oblige as the UFC newcomer stalked Camacho down and landed straight punches down the pipe along with looping counter shots. Torres caught Camacho with a nasty combination late into the first that toppled the returning veteran. As Torres went in for more shots he stopped himself and referee herb Herb dean stepped in for the stoppage.

Torres, 27, has now finished 12 of his 13 professional wins in the very first round. The Mexican fighter looked great in his TKO win over Kolton Englund on the Contender Series back in Oct. 2021 and clearly carried that success over into his UFC debut. Torres looks to pack a serious punch and is pace was pretty impressive as well. Very exciting stuff.
