And while fighters dream of making that walk with an arena jam-packed with thousands of energetic fans, Torres’ first walk as a member of the roster will be happening in front of a much smaller crowd at the UFC APEX where he won his contract. Regardless, the walk to the Octagon on Saturday will still be a special moment for Torres.
“It is exciting to fight here again [at the APEX], to come back after Contender Series. Obviously, I would love to fight in front of a packed arena soon,” said Torres. “It was plenty of work, though, and we’ve practically been in camp for seven months. So, I feel prepared for this moment.”
Torres will be having his first dance against UFC veteran Frank Camacho. Camacho is 17-year pro who has been competing in the UFC since 2017. With 17 wins by knockout and over a decade of experience, Camacho will be a perfect test for the debuting fighter, as he isn’t afraid to go to war and make the fight ugly.
