Miguel Torres Defeats Manny Tapia Via Second Round TKO
As expected by a large amount of people Miguel Torres retained his championship belt and improved his MMA record to 35-1.
The first round of the fight was fairly even between the two fighters with Manny Tapia ending it on a good note. But as soon as the second round started Miguel Torres turned into the fighter we expected to see. It took two knockdowns on the side of Torres to finally get Tapia into a defeat-able position. The bout ended 3:04 into the second round when referee Yves Lavigne stepped in and stopped the action ruling Miguel Torres victorious via (T)KO.
This was the third successful Bantamweight Title defense from the 27-year-old Miguel Torres who has been fighting professionally since his teen years. Torres gave Tapia his first professional loss.

WEC 37: Manny Tapia Already has the Belt
“Mentally, I already won the belt. The belt is already hanging in my house. I’m in the best shape of my life, and I know Miguel has beaten many fighters in his career, but he hasn’t fought me yet. I hope he’s ready cause I am.”
Manny Tapia will be fighting WEC bantamweight champion Miguel Torres this Wednesday night at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tapia is currently undefeated and will be looking to take the championship from Miguel Torres. It seems in his mind he already has the belt, hopefully for him his premonitions will come true.
