...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
10/20 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:
-The UFC is reportedly targeting Alexander Gustafsson vs. Rashad Evans for Jan. 24, and it's apparently going to be on Fox from Sweden. Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for more on the fight, and additional thoughts on the alleged location.
-Martin Kampmann hasn't fought since last August, and he's not planning to fight again anytime soon. He said this past week that while he's still under UFC contract, he's “semi-retired,” and because of his concern over his future health, he's not sure he'll ever fight again. More comments from Kampmann with additional thoughts on him walking away from the sport early on the mobile site.
-Daniel Cormier will be making his co-hosting gig on Fox Sports 1's UFC Tonight permanent, as he was named to that role officially on Monday morning. See comments from Cormier with additional thoughts on the gig on the mobile site.
-Ian McCall fights John Lineker next month, and he's putting a lot of added pressure on himself into the fight, because he says the win is going to come quite easily. Catch his comments running down Lineker 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!
DON'T GO YET... WE SUGGEST THESE MMATORCH ARTICLES, TOO!
