Phogat stays unbeaten with her fourth win in as many professional mixed martial arts bouts.

Torres, on the other hand, fell to her fifth straight defeat since going 4-0 to start her own MMA career.

Phogat would now be hoping a career boost with the ONE Championship's announcement that the women's atomweight (52.2 kg) belt would be up for grabs following reigning titleholder Angela Lee's announcement of her pregnancy.
