Here's what's on the site today:

-Merry Christmas everyone! In a heartwarming story today, UFC Lightweight Champion Anthony “Showtime” Pettis fulfilled a promise to his mother, as he bought her a new house and a new car for Christmas. Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser to catch her reactions caught on camera.

-In a roundtable for today, the crew discussed whether or not Renan Barao will recapture the UFC Bantamweight Title if given a rematch with T.J. Dillashaw. Excerpt from Rich Hansen: “If Barao doesn't learn how to move his head and his feet, he doesn't have much of a chance in any rematch. So, if a near-40-fight veteran who has had near unanimous success and who completely feels is the best fighter in the world doesn't overhaul everything about his style, he's going to get trucked yet again. I don't know about you, but I don't see Barao changing things up much, do you?” Get the full roundtable on the mobile site now.
