12/17 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 his latest weekly piece, Frank Hyden breaks down the Good, Bad, and Ugly from last weekend's three MMA events in The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale, UFC on Fox 13, and WSOF 16. Excerpt on Rafael dos Anjos vs. Nate Diaz: “Dos Anjos dominated the entirety of this fight, as he destroyed the lead leg of Diaz with numerous hard kicks. It was hard to watch at times as Diaz gimped his way around the cage. I don't fault RDA for not getting the finish, as Diaz is incredibly tough. He certainly made a huge statement here.” Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for his full column.

-UFC welterweight Matt Brown made some critical comments on the UFC signing CM Punk this week, saying he “thought the sport, the UFC, itself, was beyond that now.” He gave Punk himself credit for trying it, but also thinks he was “dumb” to do so. Catch his comments with further thoughts on the mobile site now.

-Jon Jones and Ronda Rousey have officially signed on with Reebok in separate deals from the UFC's uniform deal, joining Johny Hendricks and Anthony Pettis, who each locked up their deals prior to UFC 181. Get comments from each with further thoughts on their deals on the mobile site.

-The entire UFC on Fox 14 card for Sweden was revealed this morning. Head to the mobile site now for the full lineup.

-In our morning poll, we asked readers for their initial reactions to the lawsuit filed against the UFC this week. 37% think it's a great thing and hope the fighters succeed in changing the UFC's business practices. 21% believe the UFC has things that need changing, but the lawsuit has several questionable charges. 29% don't expect it to be successful, but think some changes could still come from it, while the remaining responses believe it would be a bad thing for the UFC's business to be drastically altered.

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!
