potential footage of Miguel Torres wrestling as a kid

[BJJWrestler]

My buddy from northern Indiana sent me this highlight video of Miguel Torres wrestling 6-8 graders as a 5th grader. They are from the same area in Indiana, so I assume it’s legit.

Can you see Torres’ potential from such a young age? His athleticism and technique seem top notch, especially because he was wrestling older kids in a top 10 wrestling state. He was at one point the top 135’er in the world, but i wouid think his mma wrestling would have been better based on the vid. Maybe he transitioned to mma too early to fulfill his potential in wrestling? Felt like he could have went D1.

Thoughts?

He was doing okay in the UFC but then did a rapey joke and was ended.
Twas never my friend

It’s strange because he gets kicked out for saying words but Dana can slap his wife in public and nothing happens.

Almost as if Dana is a hypocrite!



How strange that I was literally just posting about what a hypocrite he is in another thread literally SECONDS ago...
God, I hate him.

There is a semi-convicted rapist still signed...

Can you all see the potential from his wrestling dominance?

But Dana said they never cancel people! Free speech for all (of his favorites)!

A goat till he wasnt

If you wonder why Torres was not a dominant wrestler given his credientials as a child, I don't know what you think about Gaethje's wrestling.

Can you tell the potential for goat based on his wrestling?

Not really? He looks good, but doesn't jump out as elite, feel like I see better kids every Sunday at a youth tournament.

If you told me he would grow up to be a good fighter there is nothing there that is surprising, but he doesn't look all that explosive, just a pretty talented wrestler.

It's crazy how fast him and renan fell off. In their primes they were great. Pioneers of bw for sure

Obviously things changed and Dana was alot more valuable than Miguel. Plus he doesn't have to fire himself if he don't feel like it.

More so video evidence. Wouldn’t you think he would be top tier mma wrestling based on the video?

I feel ya, but the explosiveness doesn’t really come until puberty.

Nope based on 37-1 record before he faced more talented people. 44-9 is still a good record though.

How can you predict future goat potential based on a post career record? Could you see him achieving that record based on the vid?

Such a dumb grade school level joke, too. Certainly not cancel worthy.
