Miguel Torres Talks Win Over Manny Tapia At WEC 37
December 4th, 2008
Can anyone beat this kid? It doesn’t seem like it, but we said the same thing about Urijah Faber, so who knows. Anyways, Sherdog also has an interview up with Manny Tapia where he says the fight was stopped prematurely. If that was the case, then he should be thanking the ref. Nothing good was going to happen to Manny Tapia from that point on if the ref let it go.
