The California-based promotion recently confirmed the pairing. Bellator 185 takes place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., on Oct. 20 and is headlined by a middleweight clash between Gegard Mousasi and Alexander Shlemenko. The main card will be televised on Spike at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m., while prelims stream on Bellator.com.
The 28-year-old Gracie improved to 6-0 at Bellator NYC at Madison Square Garden on June 24, as he submitted Dave Marfone with a rear-naked choke 2:27 into the second round. The Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu product has finished all but one of his opponents via tapout.
Torres, meanwhile, will make his Bellator debut on a four-fight winning streak. The 32-year-old Mexico native is 10-3 with one no contest as a professional, with six of those triumphs coming inside the distance.
