Guillermo Torres Cervantes (born August 19, 1986 in Guadalajara, Jalisco) is a Mexican freestyle wrestler, mixed martial artist, and coach.[1] [2]
He won a silver medal for the 60 kg division at the 2011 Pan American Games in his hometown. A few months later, he finished second at the 2012 Pan American Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament, which qualified him for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.[3] At the Olympics, Torres competed in the men's freestyle 60 kg class, where he was eliminated in the qualifying round after being defeated by Iran's Masoud Esmaeilpour, with a technical score of 1–8, and a classification point system of 1–3.[4]
After the Olympics, Torres retired from wrestling competition due to injuries that required surgeries and decided to focus on coaching children in wrestling and raising a family instead. He was introduced to submission grappling after being invited to train at Gym 58, where he learned quickly and was encouraged to compete.[5] [6] He eventually transitioned to MMA and made his debut on March 15, 2018, at CBF MMA - Dana White: Lookin' for a Fight, winning via unanimous decision.[7] His second fight was for Combate Americas at Combate 27 on October 26, 2018, in his hometown. Torres won by first round TKO.[8] He gained two more wins in Combate in 2019 before a hiatus. Torres made his return on March 25, 2022, at UWC Mexico 32, winning via TKO.[9] His winning streak ended on September 2, 2022, at Lux Fight League 26, with a loss via knockout.[10] Torres has been training with Henry Cejudo since preparation for his third fight.[11] He was Cejudo's training partner for his title fight against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 288.[12]
In March 2024, it was announced that Torres would be competing in the thirty-second season of The Ultimate Fighter.[13]
Torres was the first chosen Featherweight for Team Grasso. He would be eliminated in the first episode after losing a decision to Roedie Roets.[14]
