WEDNESDAY 8/20 AFTERNOON 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 afternoon:

-Demian Maia's out of this weekend's UFC Fight Night 49 event with a bad staph infection which may have spread to his bone. He was hospitalized for a second time on Tuesday, and his status right now is unclear. Get more on the situation with further thoughts on our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser.

-In our new roundtable today, the crew discussed who should fight Ronda Rousey next if Gina Carano does not come into the UFC. Excerpt from Dan Moore: “If Cat Zingano wins impressively against Amanda Nunes at UFC 178, she's clearly the next in line. Her win over Miesha Tate was very entertaining, and after her recent troubles, most will take to her as a fan favourite over Rousey. If that doesn't go to plan, the UFC are screwed, and they'll need to call up Holly Holm quicker than they probably wanted. If not, they'll need to rehash another rematch fight with Miesha Tate or Sara McMann, and nobody wants to see that happen.” Full roundtable on the mobile site.

-Michael Bisping is fighting Cung Le on Saturday in Macau, and as he's done on several occasions, he says he's going to demolish an opponent. Now we need to see if he can follow through. Catch his latest comments on Saturday's fight and more on the mobile site.

-Scott Coker discussed what he sees in Bellator's future again this week, and he continues to say all the right things to breed optimism about what's coming next for the organization. See his latest comments with further analysis on the mobile site.

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!
