A lightweight clash between Manuel Torres and Drew Dober will serve as the co-main event at UFC Mexico City, later this evening at the Arena CDMX in Mexico D.F.
Torres (15-3) is a 2021 Dana White's Contender Series breakout star sporting a UFC record of 3-1. 'El Loco' sports a fan-friendly style with all but one of his wins coming via finishes.

In the other half of the event Dober (27-14 and 1 NC) has been a lightweight mainstay for over a decade. Yet inconsistent performance has largely kept him out of the divisional rankings.
