Many people talked about Manuel Torres`s knockout victory over Drew Dober at UFC Mexico, and Torres agrees with those who think the fight should have been stopped earlier.
Torres mentioned at the post-fight press conference that he was signaling to the referee that he was doing significant damage to Dober and thought the fight could have been stopped. However, the referee did not stop it, so Torres continued fighting professionally. He felt his opponent was struggling even before the fight was officially stopped.
Torres acknowledged that in certain fighting positions, it can be difficult for the referee to see if a fighter is still able to continue. He specifically noted that Dober was looking down in a position that might have made it hard for the referee to see his condition. Torres suggested that referees could improve their ability to assess these specific situations.
Regardless, Torres views his win as very important and significant in his career. He considers fighting in Mexico to be particularly meaningful and felt this victory was special.
Looking ahead, Torres expressed his desire to compete at the upcoming UFC event in Mexico in September. He feels he represents Mexico in his fights and would like to face a top-15 ranked opponent at that event.
