Also how many top LW's/FW's has he beaten besides Chase Beebe? Not trying to be a dick, just an honest question. He beat alot of guys in different weights, but none of them are ranked to my knowledge.

I got the info off of his MMA academys website:

..:: www.torresmartialarts.com :: The official website for the Miguel Torres Martial Arts Academy ::..

I listed the accomplishments to sell my opinion. Garcia isn't ranked cause he's not in mma. Maybe the 45-1 is mma and grappling I don't know. All I know is the guy has fought at higher weights and won, he's a current champion and he's only lost once. After his fight with Beebe I think he's top 10 p4p.

The lighter weights don't get as much exposure as the bigger guys so I can't say wether he's fought cans or top guys.(wich sucks cause the smaller guys fights are always better than the big guys) If anyone knows for sure, please correct me. Given their last performances, I'd definately put Torres ahead of Rua and Filho.
