Afterward, Torres talked about it with the gathered media.
I thought it would be a little bit more than that, said Torres as transcribed by Mike Bohn and Fernanda Prates for MMAjunkie. It is what it is, but it was fine. She’s not scary at all.
She said, ‘Welcome to hell.’ I told her, ‘I’m not scared.’ Then she said, ‘Just wait until the Octagon door closes.’ I said ‘OK, I’m ready.’ And that’s what it was.
On my end, I think it can catapult me to that No. 1 contender spot, as no one else has been able to beat Joanna except for Rose. But should Joanna become victorious this weekend, I don’t think she’ll be catapulted right back in there.
She’s going to be in for a surprise. I think there hasn’t been many girls who could match her speed, and I’ll be able to do that.
