JT Torres talked to us about his experience training in Abu Dhabi, ATOS, His fight against Rory Mcdonald at Metamoris 5.
In regards to the Metamoris format JT Torres stated that he was in favor of judges to decide to outcome of Metamoris Matches
“Now if there was something I would like to change about Metamoris, well maybe if there was a decision at the end. You know just how they do at the UFC, if someone doesn’t get knocked out or if someone doesn’t get submitted the decision goes to the judges. I think if there were judges, it would force people to fight a little bit harder because there is a way you could lose. I feel if you don’t get submitted, some people fight to the draw. So I think if you take the draw out of the equation it will force people to fight a little bit harder, but other than that I think they are doing a great job.”
