Miguel Torres Out of GLORY 17 Featherweight Tournament

It was a bit odd when Miguel Torres was leaked out as a participant in the GLORY 17 Featherweight tournament. Miguel Torres had a spectacular run in the WEC and did well enough in the UFC before moving onto WSoF and not competing in Asia, but never struck many as a Kickboxer. His inclusion in the GLORY Featherweight tournament felt a bit odd, to say the least. GLORY announced today that they have swapped out Miguel Torres for Marcus Vinicius from Brazil.

Vinicius, who has already competed for GLORY in the past, is currently ranked at #8 in their official rankings.
