While Urijah Fabe recently received an official day in his honor, Faber isn’t the only WEC star to receive such recognition.
East Chicago, Ind., hometown of former WEC bantamweight champion Miguel Torres, has declared June 4, 2010 to be “Miguel Angel Torres Day.”
“East Chicago is my home, and to be recognized in this capacity means a lot,” Torres stated in an official release from the WEC announcing the honor. “The city is full of hardworking people and I have done my best to represent East Chicago in a positive way.”
The 29-year-old Torres grew up and still resides in East Chicago, and he operates a mixed martial arts academy in nearby Hammond, Ind.
