This is a huge fight for Monkey! Miguel is the guy that the later Carlson Gracie claimed no one in the world in his weight class could beat him. Vai Macaquinho!
I trust I am not out of line to point out that the perfect weight for Monkey against this opponent would be at 123.2 pounds but, as things stand, Miguel is not inclined to cut weight. Richard walks at about 4 pounds under this weight and Miguel walks just a little heavier. Torres is a GREAT fighter and athlete but is in for the fight of his life against Monkey. This is a good fight for both of these guys. Just wish it were at 123.2 but, again, Torres does not cut weight. Good opportunity for Monkey.
