-I broke down some further thoughts on the UFC 178 card tonight, notebook style, hitting what stuck with me out of the best card of 2014. Excerpt: “Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson is so good that it's just a complete shame that he and the UFC can't find a way to capitalize in a meaningful way for business. There is so much to like about what he does in the cage, but he hasn't captured the imagination of fans, and the UFC's insistence on pushing the brand over individual personalities hasn't really helped. There are so many guys delivering highlights, and Dana White has anointed so many different fighters as the "best" or the "biggest" or the "next breakout star" that it's brought about diminishing returns overall.” Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for the full column.

-The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale has its official location, as it will take place from the Palms in Las Vegas on Dec. 12, headlined by the first ever Women's Strawweight Championship fight.

-Demetrious Johnson's coach says the Flyweight Champ is looking to secure his legacy in that division before attempting to avenge his loss to Dominick Cruz. Catch Matt Hume's comments with further analysis on the mobile site.
