SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Three men are facing multiple felony charges after being arrested in connection with a violent armed robbery late Wednesday night, leaving one victim hospitalized. Man arrested during police search at West Springfield barber shop According to Springfield Police Spokesperson Ryan Walsh, between 10:45 and 11:15 p.m. Wednesday, police received reports of an assault near School and High Streets after members of the department's Real-Time Analysis Center (R-TAC) observed armed individuals attacking a man on city surveillance cameras.

Manuel Torres wishes Mike Beltran stopped UFC on ESPN 64 fight vs. Drew Dober sooner
MEXICO CITY – A lot was made out of his co-main event knockout win vs. Drew Dober on Saturday, and Manuel Torres himself sits on the side of the fence that says the fight should've been stopped sooner. "If you look at the replay, I was watching to the referee, 'I'm making a lot of damage to my opponent,' but he didn't stop the fight," Torres told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a UFC on ESPN 64 post-fight news conference Saturday. "So I'm a professional. I kept doing it. But yeah, of course I felt my opponent was a little down even before the stoppage." "... Just in certain positions, that can happen. Of course in this one, Drew Dober was looking down, so for the referee, it was hard to watch him (and see) if he was out or not. I think they could work a little bit on that kind of thing, but just it's really specific positions." Video: UFC on ESPN 64 backstage post-fight interviews with winners UFC Mexico bonuses include two thrilling promotional debuts A win is a win. Looking at it from nearly every angle and perspective, it was violent and the biggest of Torres' career to date. "Of course this is my most important day in my career," Torres said. "Every time that I fight here in Mexico, I feel this is the most important day of my career. So tonight, I feel that it was really special." "Well, UFC just announced a Mexican card on Sept. 13, so of course I want to be part of that event. I feel that I do a lot of things in the name of Mexico. Yeah, for sure, I would like to fight in Mexico again with a top-15 fighter, a top-15 opponent." For more on the card, visit MMA Junkie's event hub for UFC on ESPN 64.

Drew Dober vs. Manuel Torres prediction, pick, start time for UFC on ESPN 64
Drew Dober and Manuel Torres meet Saturday in the co-main event of UFC on ESPN 64 at Arena CDMX in Mexico City. Check out this quick breakdown of the matchup from MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom. Last event: 4-2 UFC main cards, 2025: 25-22-1 Drew Dober vs. Manuel Torres UFC Mexico preview Somehow, Dober (27-14 MMA, 13-10 UFC) has been in the UFC nearly a dozen years, and with eight bonuses he's one of the most consistently exciting lightweights – but one who's dropped three of his past four … Torres (15-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) had three straight first-round stoppage bonus-winners before he was upset by Ignacio Bahamondes at UFC 306 – a loss he wants to erase in front of his home fans. Drew Dober vs. Manuel Torres UFC Mexico expert pick, prediction The co-main event in Mexico City features an insane action fight at lightweight between Drew Dober and Manuel Torres. Despite his boyish good looks, Dober has been spilling blood under the UFC banner for over a decade now, so it's nice to see him get some love with the co-headliner slot. Torres, on the other hand, has not been here long but has certainly made his presence known. An underrated submission threat with knockout power in both hands, there are plenty of directions that Torres can hypothetically take a fight. That said, we've yet to see the Mexican against a dedicated southpaw at this level, so I'll be curious to see if 'El Loco' is even more susceptible to counters in the open stance. Luckily for Torres, Dober's aggressive style will allow for ample opportunities to catch the American early. Still, I can't help but side with experience and superior technique, so I'll take Dober to come out on top via a knockout in Round 1. Drew Dober vs. Manuel Torres UFC Mexico odds The oddsmakers and the public are keeping the betting lines tight, listing Dober -118 and Torres -104 via FanDuel. Drew Dober vs. Manuel Torres UFC Mexico start time, how to watch Dober and Torres are expected to walk to the cage at approximately 9:15 p.m. ET. The fight airs on ESPN2 and streams on ESPN+.
