It was three weeks ago when the MMA world was in shock that Dana White had let Miguel Torres go following a rape comment on twitter.
Ariel Helwani gave the word today via his twitter account.
Dana says Torres is back. Torres has donated money to local rape centers, visited them. Dana says Torres was very remorseful.
No word as to when the former WEC bantamweight champion will return to the octagon.
Did you expect the UFC to bring Torres back? Were they right to let him go in the first place? Will he be in any main card fights?
