UFC Fighter Tecia Torres Talks TUF 20 & What it Means to be in the UFC

Editor’s note:  LWOS is always looking for new and innovative ways to bring you the best from the world of sports.  Today is no different as we have a video from Susan Cingari, who is one of the best MMA reporters on the planet.  Susan has been running video podcasts for quite some time, and is well known around the industry, and we are happy to feature her stuff right here at Last Word on Sports.

Susan Cingari catches up with Tecia “The Tiny” Tornado Torres Pre TUF 20 to see how she is preparing for the show.

Tecia Torres tells us what it means for her to be chosen as part of the “The Ultimate Fighter” (TUF) 20 cast, and who she would rather have as a coach, Anthony Pettis or Gilbert Melendez.

Is she nervous about being in the house? (Hint- Hell no) And does she think she has an advantage since she knows some of the fighters from Invicta (like Felice Herrig) that are also on the show.

Which fighter is she most looking forward to fight? Find out how Tecia plans to entertain herself while in the TUF 20 house.

Also wondering how the 25-year-old Tecia Torres got started in MMA and how she has rapidly rose to the top of the strawweight division in a just a few years.  Currently she is ranked the #5 ranked female strawweight (115 lbs) and is favored by many to put on as strong performance and potentially win the show.
