3/2 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 his latest legal take on the news in the MMA world, Michael Bane breaks down his perspective as a practicing attorney. Excerpt on Anderson Silva allegedly set to admit his PED use for therapeutic purposes: “While the majority of MMA enthusiasts seem to have found Silva guilty of PED use already, this likely admission will remove any sliver of doubt there may have been. It also crushed the hopes of the few who were in denial, hoping the whole thing was some sort of test mix-up. As it was become more and more obvious that Silva was not going to get cleared of PED use, his strategy has shifted from continuing denial to one of mitigation. As Silva realized he was going to be punished, almost assuredly with both a fine and suspension, the goal is now to reduce the amount of money and time that he's going to be out.” Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for the full column.

-Miesha Tate served as an analyst on Saturday at UFC 184, and after the brilliance displayed by Ronda Rousey in the main event, she had to admit that Rousey's on another level than the rest of the field. To that end, she says she wants to find a way to get herself to that level. Catch her post-fight comments on Rousey and wanting to get back to a third fight with her on the mobile site now.

-CM Punk took another key step toward getting into the Octagon today, partaking in his first live MMA sparring session at Roufusport. Further info and commentary on that step on the mobile site now.

-A couple new fights have been added to the UFC Fight Night Manila card in May, as Gegard Mousasi will take on Costas Philippou, while Hyun Gyu Lim will meet Neil Magny. More info on both fights on the mobile site now.

-Bellator 134 “The British Invasion” drew an average of 872,000 viewers to Spike TV last Friday night. Further thoughts on the numbers on the mobile site now.
