1/5 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 today:
-In a shocking turn of events, Eddie Alvarez is out of his fight with Benson Henderson, and Donald Cerrone is stepping in on 12 days notice in the UFC Fight Night 59 co-main event. This will be the third fight between Cerrone and Henderson, following their two fights five years ago in the WEC. Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for more on the switch with more thoughts on Cerrone taking that fight.
-Jon Jones said this weekend that one of the driving forces into his fight with Daniel Cormier was a desire to gain respect from the wrestling community. Catch his comments with further analysis on the mobile site.
-Luke Rockhold, Daniel Cormier's teammate and one of his key training partners into UFC 182, expressed his disappointment in Cormier's performance, and said Cormier looked a bit like a deer in the headlights at times in the fight. See what Rockhold had to say, along with further thoughts, on the mobile site.
-Matt Brown, in need of a new opponent for UFC Fight Night 60, said he's open to anyone the UFC is willing to put in front of him. He named Rory MacDonald, Hector Lombard, and Carlos Condit as preferences, but is willing to fight absolutely anyone. See his comments with further thoughts on the mobile site.
-Ben Askren this week commented on Dana White's continued statements about him not wanting to fight in the UFC, saying everything White has said on the matter is “blatant lies.” Head to the mobile site for Askren's thoughts with further analysis.
-Another change to UFC Fight Night 59 hit today, as newcomer Louis Taylor is in for an injured Costas Philippou against Uriah Hall in Boston. More on the switch on the mobile site.
