10/22 NIGHTTIME 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 tonight:

-Ronda Rousey vs. Cat Zingano is official for UFC 182 in January, as the bout was confirmed by Dana White via Fox Sports 1's latest UFC Tonight episode. Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for more on the fight.

-In a new roundtable today, the crew gave their reactions to the UFC booking Renan Barao and Urijah Faber against sub-top-ten opponents for December. Excerpt from Rich Hansen: “They want Dominick Cruz to beat T.J. Dillashaw, that's what I think of it. They want to get Urijah Faber a title shot, but he won't take one against Dillashaw (because he's a fool) and he won't get one against Barao because he's proven that's a fight he can't win. So, they're keeping him busy with guys like Caceres, Kanehara (which fell apart due to injury), and Rivera so that he can rack up a couple of wins. They give Barao a tough yet completely winnable fight against someone no one knows yet, so that when he does win they can tell Barao that he has yet to earn another shot, which is the only justification for giving Faber a shot at Cruz ahead of Barao.” Head to the mobile site for the full roundtable.

-The latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter 20 aired tonight, and Yael Grauer's back with another rundown of the show. Excerpt: “Following two weeks of darkness, TUF 20 is back with the matchup we've all been waiting for: Felice Herrig vs. Heather Clark. Herrig is a polarizing figure, and the show starts with Clark saying the way Felice carries herself is kind of trashy. The two locked horns before at Invicta, and Herrig, whom Clark says originally turned down the fight, ended up winning via split decision.” Head to the mobile site for the full episode rundown.

-In another blow to the UFC 180 card, Joe Lauzon has reportedly been pulled from his fight with Diego Sanchez. Get more on that injury removal on the mobile site now.

-If you'd like to take part in the MMATorch contests for UFC 179, head to the mobile site now for the details.

-Chad Mendes says he's taking added motivation into UFC 179 from the trash talk by Jose Aldo. Catch his comments with further analysis on the mobile site.

-Paulo Thiago has been released from the UFC after his third straight loss and a 2-7 stretch over the last several years. More on his run and release 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!
