Veteran Drew Dober draws the one they call “El Loco” Manuel Torres in the main card of UFC Mexico this weekend. The lightweights are likely to serve up the night's fight as they both favor a no-holds-barred, “kill-or-be-killed” attitude to fighting. The American Drew Dober is a slight favorite to win and reverse his two-fight slide, with some bookmakers listing the bout as tied. Torres has gone the distance only once in his professional career, with the fans in love with his ultra-violent approach to his fights and the promotion rewarding him with several performance bonuses.

Manuel Torres
A 2021 Contender Series class graduate, Manuel “El Loco” Torres has won three of his four fights in the UFC following a sensational debut 2022 that fetched a first-round KO of Frank Camacho, with Torres bagging the performance bonus. Further first-round finishes of Nikolas Motta and Chris Duncan came with two more performance bonuses for the 30-year-old Mexican, whose nickname translates to “The Crazy One.” Last September, Ignacio Bahamondes halted the Torres train with a first-round stoppage, despite the Mexican being the bookies' favorite.
