Jonathan Torres, also known as "JT" Torres, is a Puerto Rican American Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.[26] He is known for a number of competitive accomplishments earned both prior to and following his promotion to black belt.[27]

In March 2013, Torres left Team Lloyd Irvin and joined Atos Jiu-Jitsu.[28]

On November 22, 2014, Torres fought Rory Macdonald in a grappling match in Metamoris V. The fight ended in a draw.
