Atos lightweight black belt Jonathan ‘JT’ Torres returns to action this weekend at the IBJJF Houston International Open.

Torres, PanAm and European champion in 2015, has been out since Worlds last year following knee surgery.

As we showed in our feature documentary Inside Atos, Torres has been settling into a coaching role at the gym in San Diego.

Torres is signed up to compete in the adult black belt middleweight division and is raring to go.

I’m super excited to get back on the mats and back to my full potential! I'm feeling better than ever and I can't wait to take that number one spot.
