12/3 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. 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:

-Frank Hyden's weekly piece today is a look at UFC 181, with some comments on the UFC uniform deal with Reebok. Excerpt: “If the UFC actually knew how to promote their fighters better, this card would sell like crazy. You've got the rematch to one of the best fights of this year in UFC Welterweight Champion Johny Hendricks vs. Robbie Lawler. I don't expect this fight to live up to their first one, just because it's unfair to expect something like that, but I do think it'll be a very good fight. It's going to be like a chess match as these guys try to replicate what worked in the first fight, but also change things up to try to keep the other off-balance.” Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for the full column.

-Bellator President Scott Coker is talking a big game into 2015. He says with Viacom behind them, there isn't any fighter they won't be willing to go after if they come available and the price is right. See his comments on what they're looking for with further analysis on the mobile site.

-Cris Cyborg is officially delaying her move to bantamweight, saying she's now eying a February return to action to defend her Invicta FC Featherweight Championship. Catch her comments with further thoughts on her immediate future on the mobile site now.

-In our morning poll, we asked readers this morning for their predictions on the Travis Browne vs. Brendan Schaub heavyweight bout at UFC 181. A whopping 87% believe Browne is winning that fight by TKO, while only 11% of the respondents believe Schaub pulls it off.
