This was a great fight. Torres had lots of bursts of awesome, but Aldo was consistently awesome. So this meant that Torres would win exchanges where he was on his A+ game, but when he dipped below that, which was kind of often, Aldo was right there to take over the fight. But Torres fought back each time he dipped and was aable to take over the fight and get a huge win - probably the biggest of his ManMMA career.
