10/29 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:
-The Ronda Rousey vs. Cat Zingano title bout has been shifted to UFC 184 in Los Angeles. The move came after Vitor Belfort prematurely revealed that his bout with Chris Weidman is officially signed for the Feb. 28 event, with UFC President Dana White revealing the move of the women's title bout from UFC 182 in January. Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for more on both of those fights for the February pay-per-view card.
-The previously reported Donald Cerrone-Myles Jury fight was initially confirmed for the UFC Fight Night card in Boston on January 18 today, but with Rousey-Zingano moving to UFC 184, the UFC moved it to the co-main event at UFC 182. In its place, the Boston card will now host a fight between Benson Henderson and Eddie Alvarez in the co-main event, with a couple more fights added to the card tonight as well. Get more on all the changes on the mobile site now.
-In other card-changing news, next Saturday's UFC Fight Night 56 event has a new headliner, as Jimi Manuwa broke his foot, taking him out of a fight with Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. Ovince St. Preux, who was already scheduled for the card, will now fight Shogun in the main event. More on that change on the mobile site.
-Speaking of Shogun, he and Anderson Silva were today named the coaches of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 4,” which will film in Las Vegas next year and air on Globo in Brazil. However, in a wrinkle to normal proceedings for TUF, the two coaches will not fight one another at the conclusion of the season. Head to the mobile site for more on the “TUF: Brazil 4” situation.
-Finally, Georges St-Pierre took to Chael Sonnen's new podcast this week to explain why his return to training doesn't mean he will or won't return to active competition, and to discuss his hiatus further as well. See comments from the former UFC Champ 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!
