9/15 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:
-Michael Bisping laughed off Luke Rockhold's belief that he has “pitter-patter punches,” telling him at the UFC Fight Night press conference in Sydney to ask Cung Le how those punches feel, if Le's out of the hospital yet. Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for more of his comments with further thoughts.
-WSOF Bantamweight Champ Marlon Moraes is turning his eye to a potential jump to the UFC. He thinks he's the best in the world, and after the latest win under the WSOF banner, he understands the only way to show he's the best will be to fight in the UFC. Further, he thinks when the time comes the WSOF will let him go on his way. See more of his comments with further analysis on the mobile site now.
-Lucas Martins is fighting Darren Elkins next month at UFC 179, but he'd rather be fighting Jeremy Stephens. He says Stephens is scared to fight him, and plans to call him out after beating Elkins. Catch his comments on the mobile site.
-Our morning poll today asked readers if they'll be watching the UFC Fight Night 52 card live on UFC Fight Pass overnight on Friday. 59% are saying they won't be watching at all, 24% will watch on demand on UFC Fight Pass later on, with 17% saying they'll be watching live.
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!
