12/8 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:

-In a new column today, Dan Moore breaks down his top fights to make after Saturday's UFC 181 event. Excerpt regarding Robbie Lawler: “Lawler's resurgence is a real success story, and his move to welterweight last year proved to be a brilliant decision. I won't be surprised if the UFC decide on a trilogy fight next year. It's 1-1 now, and both fights have been incredibly close. Rory MacDonald would have been a dead cert if Hendricks won, but he lost to Lawler less than twelve months ago.” Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for the full column.

-Khabib Nurmagomedov wants the next title fight against Anthony Pettis, though he's not ready to return until May. However, if that's the fight the UFC wants, Pettis is just fine with that. Catch comments from both fighters on that potentially happening, with further analysis, on the mobile site.

-If you took part in the prediction and betting contest results for UFC 181 on Saturday, head to the mobile site now to see how you matched up against the field.

-In our new morning poll, we asked readers who they believe should face Robbie Lawler in his first title defense. 60% of the responders want to see him fight Rory MacDonald next. 30% want him to fight Johny Hendricks, while the remaining 10% would rather it be someone else entirely.

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!
