John McCarthy thinks Manuel Torres vs. Drew Dober at UFC on ESPN 64 was stopped too late. Torres (16-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) dropped Dober (27-15 MMA, 13-11 UFC) with a straight right, followed by a series of unanswered hammerfists to score the Round 1 TKO in Saturday’s co-main event at Arena CDMX in Mexico City.
