11/21 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:
-My main card preview and picks for UFC Fight Night 57 is now live, with a look at each of the six main card fights and my predictions for winners on the card. Excerpt on Green-Barboza in the co-main event: “Barboza is capable of stopping just about any fight, but he's gotten tripped up in a couple of fights, and he has a tendency to throw defense out the window at times. Green is on a tear with eight straight wins, and he's been as consistent as they come at 155 lbs. However, he enters this event with some very real and personal distractions, and it's hard to know how well he's been able to prepare with everything that's gone on.” Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for the full preview.
-In a new roundtable today, the crew discussed the best fights on Saturday's card. Excerpt from Cash Norman: “Bobby Green vs. Edson Barbosa is the fight I want to see most. I've been intrigued about this fight since it was first announced. Barbosa has an exciting, explosive, power hitting style. Unfortunately, his chin can't keep pace with his style of fighting. Although I think he's exciting and never want to miss one of his fights, I believe he'll come out explosively, Green will weather the storm, and counter Barbosa knocking him to the ground and finishing with a submission.” Full roundtable on the mobile site.
-Jussier Formiga is out of his fight with John Moraga, leaving Moraga in need of a new opponent for UFC on Fox 13. More on that change to the card with further thoughts on the mobile site now.
-UFC bantamweight Michael McDonald has missed all of this year after undergoing wrist surgery, but he's on the mend and looking at a spring return. More on his situation with further thoughts on the mobile site.
-Also, head to the mobile site for full weigh-in results for UFC Fight Night 57 from Austin.
