Just seven short months ago, Miguel Torres seemed to be on top of the world. He was 37-1, had never been stopped in his career, and a run of victories in the WEC had seen him considered a top-5 pound-for-pound fighter by many, and the most destructive force ever bestowed upon mortal man by Frank Mir.

Many wondered whether anyone in the division could defeat him. That’s not something many people are wondering about these days. Another thing people aren’t really wondering about anymore is what his skull looks like.
