Jose 'Shorty' Torres battles Hiromasa Ougikubo at Super RIZIN 4 on July 27th as part of the RFF flyweight grand prix.
Torres was a guest on Bowks Talking Bouts and touched on several subjects, such as: -recently making 125 pounds for the first time in close to four years for his last MMA bout
-not being in this grand prix field as recently as three weeks ago, and how this short-notice tournament opportunity panned out
-being contracted to Brave CF while also getting Rizin FF opportunities and believing his last outing was a robbery
-fighting someone who many see as the likeliest to win the GP, and seeing him as the biggest, baddest guy in this tournament
-Ougikubo recording a prior win over current UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja
-top-to-bottom breakdowns of the entire grand prix field in terms of the easiest challenges and stiffest tests throughout the tournament
-facing a former Rizin grand prix champion in this year's GP
-thoughts on Alexandre Pantoja vs Kai Kara France from UFC 317 in the context of being a former UFC flyweight and being someone who has trained with Pantoja
-if Joshua Van deserves a UFC flyweight title shot next
-Kyoji Horiguchi returning to the UFC, and if the former UFC flyweight title challenger can inject some more life into the division
-Merab Dvalishvili also being someone he has a lot of training experience with, and if the UFC bantamweight champion is MMA's greatest of all time at 135 pounds post-UFC 316
-Patchy Mix having a lot of training experience with Torres and thoughts on Mix's inauspicious UFC debut at UFC 316
-being such a Pride FC fan, and if he saw the two-part effort that Darkside of the Cage put together on the rise and fall of Pride
-the effort that Rizin puts into his entrances feeling tantamount to Stone Cold walking out at WrestleMania or Bad Bunny at a concert
-his prior interaction with Canelo Alvarez around the Noche UFC card last year in the context of his thoughts on Canelo vs. Crawford

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
