Throughout her college studies, Tecia Torres had her sights set on becoming a police officer or another member of the law enforcement community. She moved through those classes at Florida Atlantic University, but when she graduated she came to terms with the fact she couldn’t see herself carrying a gun or potentially taking a life. While that decision didn’t necessarily bump her closer to mixed martial arts, it certainly opened up some training time. “When I decide to have a career outside of fighting,” she told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com), “I’ll have to do something else.” But for the time-being, Torres is focusing her enforcement on fighting opponents, where she has no reservations. After an undefeated amateur career, Torres has started fast as a professional with a 2-0 record and takes on Rose Namajunas (2-0) on July 13 at Invicta Fighting Championships 6 in Kansas City, Mo
