TUESDAY 7/22 MORNING UPDATE

If you're tuning in to the App for the first time in a while, make sure to check out the big update on the App's home page for notes and information on the changes made to the new mobile site at MMATorch.com in your mobile browser. Our tech team has been working on even more tweaks based on your feedback, and have optimized the site for Safari and the default Android browser. They're continuing to work on the same for both Chrome and Opera as well. Keep sending your thoughts in to mmatorch@gmail.com so we can make the mobile site the best experience for you! We truly appreciate the feedback, and we're making changes as necessary. Here's what's on the site this morning:

-Our UK Columnist Dan Moore was in attendance on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 46 in Dublin, Ireland, and he explained today why it was one of the greatest sporting experiences he's ever had. Excerpt: “Dublin was always going to be a relative success, irrespective of the performances of the Irish contingent. Starved of UFC action for five-years, fans have been campaigning to get another show ever since. Not only that, Dublin is a vibrant city associated with alcohol. It isn't quite Las Vegas, but it's the number-one social spot in Northern Europe, and thousands flock there in the summer to experience the spectacular night life and plentiful Guinness it offers.” Head to the main listing of our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for the full article.

-UFC Champ Anthony Pettis talked about the trash talk he's received from fighters in the lightweight division, and why it definitely gets under his skin. Catch his comments with further analysis in the main listing.

-One of Pettis' potential future contenders is going to be out until early 2015, as Khabib Nurmagomedov will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. More details with added thoughts in the main listing now.

-A bout between Maximo Blanco and Dan Hooker is on its way to UFC Fight Night 52 in Japan. More details on both fighters in the main listing.
