THURSDAY 8/21 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:

-Wanderlei Silva's camp filed a motion this week to dismiss the disciplinary action currently on the table with the Nevada Athletic Commission, so they have delayed his disciplinary hearing to a later date. Additional thoughts on Silva's situation on our mobile site now at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser.

-Michael Bisping and Cung Le will be administered both blood and urine tests this weekend for drugs of abuse and PEDs after their main event at UFC Fight Night 48 in Macau. More on that with some further comments on additional testing being done on fight night on the mobile site.

-Bellator has signed their third competitor for their new women's featherweight division, as undefeated jiu jitsu ace Talita Nogueira is joining the 145 lb. field. Head to the mobile site for comments from Nogueira and Bellator President Scott Coker on her signing.

-Rafael dos Anjos gets his first UFC headlining bout on Saturday against former Champ Benson Henderson, and he thinks Henderson's got holes he can exploit. Catch his comments on the fight with further thoughts on the mobile site now.

-In our morning poll, we asked readers for predictions on the Michael Bisping-Cung Le main event at UFC Fight Night 48. The majority are going with Le to win the fight, with 48% of the overall votes going to Le winning by TKO.
