1/7 AFTERNOON 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 afternoon:

-After initially saying that the Nevada commission would be addressing the anomaly of Jon Jones' out of competition drug test, NAC director Bob Bennett has clarified that the commission wasn't supposed to test Jones for cocaine in the first place due to that not being on the banned list out of competition. Head to the mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for more from Bennett on the Jones situation with further analysis.

-Reebok is standing behind Jones after his failed drug test for cocaine, and says they're in full support of him as he enters rehab. More on that on the mobile site now.

-There have been some changes to a couple of events next month. An injury to Glover Teixeria has brought a shift to the UFC Fight Night 61 card, as UFC 184's Frank Mir vs. Bigfoot Silva fight has been shifted into that main event. More on the switch on the mobile site now.

-Four fighters on the UFC 182 card are out of action up to six months, at least according to the Nevada Athletic Commission. Head to the mobile site for the full list of suspensions out of last weekend's event.

-In our morning poll, we asked readers whether Jon Jones deserved further punishment for his positive drug test for cocaine. 39% think he should be stripped of the title outright, 38% believe a fine and/or suspension is in order, and the final 23% don't think anything else is necessary.

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 we61 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!
