Jose Shorty Torres discusses Dragon Ball Z and WEC inspiring him to train, runs in UFC and Rizin, and chilling with Fat Joe

On this BTB installment, I spoke with multi-time Titan FC titlist Jose Shorty Torres about a litany of topics......Bowks Talking Bouts #84:

 

 

How Dragon Ball Z and WEC helped guide him to martial arts training, learning multiple disciplines early on and if MMA was always the end goal (2:19), being a product of the IMMAF and the growth of amateur MMA (3:37), his efforts in isolated disciplines and how that strengthens his mental game for MMA (5:58), his entire pro run being with Titan FC and possibly competing in UFC in the future (8:03), considering promotions like Rizin as well (9:53), how his post-secondary education informed his in-cage efforts as a fighter (11:51), going all five rounds in competition and how key it is for his progression to get experience in those championship rounds (13:20), learning in the gym from guys like Khabib, Renan Barao, TJ Dillashaw, Cub Swanson, etc (15:17)......

 

Getting a lot of support from his family/ community and how that galvanizes his efforts in fighting (18:20), chilling with Fat Joe and connecting with him through volunteering (20:04), rocking a Stitch onesie (22:07), bonding over our mutual appreciation of the Dragon Ball series (23:03), using CBD Oil for recovery after fights and hard training sessions (25:13), the music Jose likes to train to (27:00), and more!
