Uniform torsion conjecture for metric ultraproducts

Let ${\mathcal G}^*_{\mathrm{met}}$ be a metric ultraproduct. A group has finite exponent, or is uniformly torsion, if there is a common positive integer annihilating every element. The uniform torsion conjecture. If ${\mathcal G}^*_{\mathrm{met}}$ is a torsion group, then ${\mathcal G}^*_{\mathrm{met}}$ has finite exponent. For ordinary ultraproducts, torsion is known to be equivalent to uniform torsion; the conjecture asks whether the same equivalence holds for every metric ultraproduct.
