Former two-division Titan FC champion Jose Torres waited forever to get his shot in the UFC, and things weren’t going so well after his first five minutes in the octagon. Jarred Brooks rattled Torres’ brain with a spinning backfist and controlled grappling exchanges, taking home a clear 10-9 on the scorecards for Round 1. But in the second round, Brooks’ (13-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) confidence led to a grave miscalculation. Lifting Torres (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) up for a huge slam, he dove backward and wound up knocking himself out before Torres stopped him at the 2:55 mark of the second frame .
