12/1 MORNING 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 morning:

-With the UFC reportedly targeting a stadium show in Australia next year, Cuban-Australian contender Hector Lombard is hoping for either a title fight or a bout with Georges St-Pierre on that card. Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for his comments with further thoughts on the likelihood of that happening.

-Tito Ortiz doesn't think “King Mo” Lawal is a fight worth taking in Bellator, and he laid out some fairly insulting sentiments as to why in a new interview this past weekend. Catch his disparaging remarks towards Lawal with further comments on the mobile site now.

-Bethe Correia is trying to angle for a fight with Ronda Rousey by the time she can return to injury next spring, and she says she'll knock Rousey out in the first round when she gets that fight. See what Correia had to say with further thoughts on the mobile site.

-Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva realizes both he and Frank Mir are hungry for a win into UFC 184 in February, but he thinks he fights better off a loss. See what he had to say with additional thoughts on the mobile site.

-In our morning poll, we asked readers which of the undercard fights at UFC 181 they were most anticipating. 43% chose the heavyweight bout between Travis Browne and Brendan Schaub, with another 30% picking Urijah Faber vs. Francisco Rivera. Tony Ferguson vs. Abel Trujillo was the only other to receive more than 10% of the vote.

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!
