I just can't quite conjure the vision of Torres getting submitted.

Torres by TKO Rd. 2.

Don't tell the Zuffas, but I would probably pay fo rthis one!
Bro Curran is a pro boxer and is def better on his feet... on the ground i would still give the edge to Curran because he is going to be stronger and his bjj is easily as good. dont forget that so far he has given urijah the most trouble and he def out classed brown with his stand up... jeff will be a beast at 35 cuz he is a beast at 45... still ranked top 10 in the world at 45.

Curran's a great fighter but he should have to fight some contenders and get in line for a shot at Miguel. Lets see how he does against the likes of Brian Bowles, Will Ribeiro, and Chase Bebee first.

I have seen torres fight... he is good. have you seen curran?? do you know anything about him? i just dont think people have given curran the respect that he deserves. he will be the strongest guy torres has faced... and torres will not want to stand with him. so when it goes to the ground, Currans black belt lineage is nothing to sleep on. this will be a great fight for sure.
