Style Matchup Analysis

Where this game is vulnerable

Exploitable Patterns

1

Larger opponents who can impose size in the clinch and on top

2

Dynamic guard players with unorthodox entries that bypass his structured passing

3

Leg lock heavy opponents who force him into unfamiliar ground positions

Nightmare Matchup

Gordon Ryan

Ryan's size and systematic approach overwhelmed Torres at ADCC. Torres's technical precision gets nullified when opponents can match his technique AND have a significant size advantage.

Closest Calls

W
ADCC 2019 -77kg·2019
