TUF 25 Finale Highlight Video: Watch Tecia Torres Tap Juliana Lima
Tecia Torres has had a solid pro mixed martial arts career up to this point, but one thing has escaped her: a finish inside the Octagon.
“The Tiny Tornado” finally got one when she forced Juliana Lima to tap out in the second round when they collided in the first televised bout on FS2 Friday evening. Lima shot in for a single-leg, but it was stuffed on the way in. Pena momentarily froze, possibly thinking of what to do next, but in that brief moment of pause, Torres quickly snuck around to her foe’s back and dragged her to the canvas. From there, Pena found herself stuck in a deep rear-naked choke and eventually tapped out 53 seconds into the frame.
