11/20 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. Our tech team has been working on even more tweaks based on your feedback, and have optimized the site for Safari and the default Android browser. They're continuing to work on the same for both Chrome and Opera as well. 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:

-Vitor Belfort has passed the first random drug test he was hit with into his fight with Chris Weidman at UFC 184. It's the first of what could be multiple tests after he was granted a provisional license this summer. Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for more thoughts on him passing this first test.

-Luke Rockhold's win over Michael Bisping was enough to get him a raise, as the former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion has signed a new eight-fight contract with the UFC. More on that signing, with further thoughts on his future, on the mobile site now.

-With Dana White talking about a potential MMA return for Brock Lesnar, he was asked this week whether or not he thought Lesnar would consider signing with Bellator if they offered him a better deal. White thinks it's something Lesnar wouldn't even consider, as he'd want to fight the best fighters in the world, and those are in the UFC. See his comments with further thoughts on the mobile site now.

-The Invicta FC 10 card on Dec. 5 got a new fight today, as visa issues took Vanessa Porto off the card. She'll be replaced by Amanda Lee, who steps in to fight Roxanne Modafferi on the card, which comes to UFC Fight Pass. More on the matchup on the mobile site now.

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!
