We truly appreciate the feedback, and we're making changes as necessary. Here's what's on the site today:

-The UFC gave a little bit of reaction to the second Chael Sonnen drug test failure on Saturday night via execs Dave Sholler and Marc Ratner, explaining at least somewhat why there wasn't more of response from the UFC on Saturday. Essentially, they've expressed that the situation is serious, but they'll let the commission do their jobs and go from there. See comments from them both with some further thoughts in the main listing at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser.

-Cub Swanson picked up his sixth straight win on Saturday night, defeating Jeremy Stephens at UFC Fight Night 44. With the win, he's likely to face the winner of the UFC 176 Title bout between Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes, and he said on Saturday he'd like to be the man to dethrone Aldo, so that's the bout he's pulling for. Swanson's comments with further thoughts in the main listing.

-The next UFC Hall of Fame inductee is going to be the first ever UFC Welterweight Champion, coach of a number of UFC Champions, and former Strikeforce announcer, Pat Miletich. More on Miletich's credentials and some thoughts on his induction in the main listing.

-Cub Swanson, Jeremy Stephens, Ray Borg, and Carlos Diego Ferreira each earned an extra $50,000 for their efforts on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 44. More on how they earned their bonuses on the card in the main listing.
