10/30 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:

-In a new roundtable today, the crew discussed whether the UFC should book Jose Aldo vs. Conor McGregor next, or Aldo against the winner of Frankie Edgar vs. Cub Swanson. Excerpt from Dan Moore: “If Cub Swanson convincingly beats Frankie Edgar next month, he deserves the next title fight, irrespective of what Conor McGregor does against Dennis Siver. Admittedly the money fight is undoubtedly Aldo vs. McGregor, but it's not like it'll ever do over a million pay-per-view buys. For me it can wait until next summer or even later, because it's still going to be a big deal.” Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for the full roundtable.

-Rashad Evans isn't entirely ready to commit to a January date with Alexander Gustafsson, as he's not entirely sure just how well his knee is going to hold up to rigorous training after surgery earlier this year. Get more on that situation on the mobile site now.

-Undefeated lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov plead his case this week for a UFC Lightweight Title bout, and called out Anthony Pettis as a “paper champ” due to his lack of title defenses. Catch his comments with further analysis on the mobile site.

-Ovince St. Preux discussed this week his loss to Ryan Bader from August, as well as the late notice shot he's got to fight Shogun Rua next week. See his comments along with further thoughts on the mobile site.

-Heavyweight Andrei Arlovski won't get a chance to capitalize quickly on his first round win over Bigfoot Silva, as he underwent surgery on his shoulder recently, and will be sidelined at least six to eight months. Further thoughts on that situation on the mobile site now.

We thank all of our readers for their feedback and patience as we continue making improvements on the new mobile site.
