During his year and a half as the World Extreme Cagefighting bantamweight champion, Miguel Torres seemed to be head and shoulders above the rest of the weight class, both literally and figuratively, and it seemed like his title reign could last for years.Instead, Torres lost two straight fights, first to Brian Bowles and then to Joseph Benavidez, and he dropped in the bantamweight rankings.
But Torres looked much better at WEC 51, notching a solid win over Charlie Valencia, and he said afterward that he's a different fighter now that he's training under Firas Zahabi. He'll need at least one, and maybe two, more wins before he'll get another shot at the title, but I think Torres can get back to the top of the bantamweight heap. See where he ranks right now below.
