1/1 NIGHT 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 tonight:

-In a new roundtable tonight, the crew gives their thoughts on who should go down as 2014's “Fighter of the year”. Excerpt from Dan Moore: “I wouldn't normally consider anyone for this award who's had a loss in the previous twelve months, but it's hard to look beyond Robbie Lawler this year. He lost a ridiculously good fight by a slender margin, and then bounced back to secure another title shot with wins over Jake Ellenberger and Matt Brown. Finally, he finished off the year by clinching his first ever UFC Title in another very good fight. Honorable mention to T.J. Dillashaw, who's a close runner-up, but my Fighter of the Year goes to Robbie Lawler.” Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for the full roundtable.

-Speaking of Robbie Lawler, his next fight is going to come against Johny Hendricks (again). UFC President Dana White said tonight that's the direction they're heading. Head to the mobile site for more thoughts on that matchup coming next.

-In other Dana White comments from today, he says they're going away from plans to implement year-round drug testing after their legal team erred in the handling of Cung Le's drug test in August. See his comments with further analysis on the move on the mobile site.

-Finally, Conor McGregor will be next for Jose Aldo if he beats Dennis Siver at UFC Fight Night 59 this month. More on that on the mobile site.
