WEDNESDAY 7/23 NIGHTTIME 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 tonight:

-We got some trash talking right out of the gate between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier tonight after their UFC 178 matchup was announced. It started with Jones sending a direct message to Cormier on Twitter, and Cormier sending a solidly heated response in public as Jones didn't follow him to allow for a private return. Head to the main listing of our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser to catch the opening salvo.

-Those comments were followed up a short time later by some from their respective daughters. Cormier's daughter made a comment in the background while he was on the phone with Dana White, which White relayed on Twitter. Then Jones posted a video with his daughter sending a message back to Cormier. It's absolutely adorable. Head to the main listing to see the comments and the quick video posted.

-In reaction to the Nevada Athletic Commission's two year suspension – with no fine – to Chael Sonnen on Wednesday, longtime UFC vet Josh Koscheck took to Twitter to explain why he felt they went light on Sonnen, and why bigger fines are needed for these infractions in order to effectively frighten those who may be using. See his comments with further analysis on Sonnen's punishment – or lack thereof – from the commission.

We thank all of our readers for their feedback and patience as we continue making improvements on the new mobile site. We're an independent voice in the MMA space with no corporate backing, and as such we stay afloat on ad revenue. This shift to the full listing on mobile web brings us a better chance to keep ourselves going and to bring our readers everything we have for the last five years and more, as the mobile advertising market is simply stronger than that on the app. Continue sending us your feedback to mmatorch@gmail.com and let us know how the new features with the Disqus comments section and more are working for you on mobile web!
