Manuel Torres (16-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) won the biggest victory of his career when he quickly hit Drew Dover (27-15 MMA, 13-11 UFC) in the first round of the comaine event. Torres attacked Dover with more than a dozen hammer fists, most of which seemed unnecessary. Judge Mike Bertrand immediately stepped in to stop things. After Dover tripped over his legs, Bertrand stood in front of him, preventing him from continuing to fight, and giving direct evidence to the unnecessarily slow finish officials.
