4/27 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:
-Jon Jones' situation in Albuquerque took a couple of different turns today. We got a look at the official police report, and it was revealed that Jones was identified fleeing from the scene of a three car accident when an undercover officer recognized him. The rental vehicle he was driving also had a marijuana pipe and marijuana in it. Jones allegedly went back to the car after initially running away, grabbing a wad of cash and fleeing once again. Charges against Jones were upgraded to felony fleeing the scene of an accident when news came out that the woman he hit suffered a broken arm. An arrest warrant was subsequently issued, and as of Monday night Jones was in custody in Albuquerque. Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for further details along with additional analysis.
-In non-Jones news, Rashad Evans got in a couple of digs at Rampage Jackson after UFC 186, and said he would get a highlight reel KO win over that version of his former foe. Catch Evans' comments with further thoughts on the mobile site.
-An injury to Gilbert Burns has led to a change at UFC Fight Night 67, as Francisco Trinaldo will step up to face Norman Parke. More on that switch on the mobile site now.
-Rafael dos Anjos is looking ahead to next month's UFC 187 event, where his first title challenger will be determined in the Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Donald Cerrone fight. The Champ thinks that's a 50-50 matchup, but also has a different plan in place should he fight Nurmagomedov a second time. More from dos Anjos on the mobile site.
-If you took part in the prediction and betting games for UFC 186, head to the mobile site now to see how you stacked up.
In our morning poll, we asked readers if they plan to watch Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson's next title defense after his last second submission win at UFC 186. 49% expressed interest in watching him fight no matter what event he's on, 19% say they'll tune in as long as he's not headlining, and 14% say it depends on the opponent. The final 18% say they don't enjoy watching him fight.
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 we 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!
