An American MMA fighter defeated three robbers and left another dead, in the city of Las Cruces, in the state of New Mexico (USA). According to information from the New York Daily News, Joseph Torrez, 27, acted after the invasion of his home by four men, who allegedly threatened the lives of the athlete and his family.
According to the newspaper, one of the assailants had told Joseph that he would kill his family and him, which led to the fighter's reaction. In the confrontation, Sal Garces, one of the criminals, was stabbed and died. In addition to him, another of the invaders, Nathan Avalos, was seriously injured, due to a sequence of punches thrown by the athlete. The other two men who participated in the robbery, Raymond Garces and Leonardo Calvillo, managed to escape, but ended up captured by local police.
For causing the death of one of the robbers, Torrez could be charged with murder. The athlete's lawyer, however, does not believe in any type of conviction, since, according to him, he acted in self-defense and was “fighting for his own life”. Despite his success in fighting robbers, in MMA Joseph Torrez has a very discreet record: with just one victory and five defeats.
