We truly appreciate the feedback, and we're making changes as necessary. Here's what's on the site this afternoon:
-Charles Oliveira is out of tonight's UFC Fight Night 50 event as he fell ill once again today, forcing doctors not to clear him for the event. More thoughts on his removal on our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser.
-Our new roundtable today features predictions for tonight's Jacare Souza vs. Gegard Mousasi rematch. Excerpt from Dan Moore: “That all means Souza has to consistently take Mousasi down, and I'm not convinced he's going to succeed enough over five-rounds. Mousasi's effective jab, movement, combinations, and kickboxing prowess will provide him with enough defensive weapons to stop the takedowns. However, if it does go to the mat, then Souza takes the advantage. Mousasi is no slouch on the ground and Souza is vastly improved standing so the advantages I mention are fractional.” Full roundtable on the mobile site.
-In an inexplicable move, the UFC has re-signed Thiago Silva after domestic assault charges were dropped this week in Florida. The charges were dropped because the alleged victim, his estranged wife, is believed to have left the country – likely to get as far away from him as possible. The UFC is bringing him back despite a lot of clear evidence of wrong-doing on his part, including severely threatening text messages and his standoff with police. More thoughts on the move on the mobile site.
-In another move that just doesn't make a lot of sense, the Luke Rockhold vs. Michael Bisping fight will happen, but it's going to happen on UFC Fight Pass from Australia on Nov. 8. More thoughts on the specifics regarding that booking on the mobile site.

Fight Path: Flyweight prospect Jake Rosenbaum aided by Indiana's big-show vets
When a staph infection recently caused an ensuing skin infection for Jake Rosenbaum, it wasn't hard to spot. "Big and nasty looking," Rosenbaum told MMAjunkie.com.
The remedy was also unpleasant. The infection was near his belt line, and doctors produced what appeared to Rosenbaum to be a needle about the size of a bazooka. Even more, the mixed martial artist from northwest Indiana is scared of needles.

Charles Oliveira confirmed that he did not receive any payment from the UFC for failing to weigh-in and compete recently at UFC Fight Night 50.

Dana White: I would have handled Jones vs. Cormier brawl differently
The UFC's director of public relations, Dave Sholler, was put in a tough spot recently when he hosted a media day that included a stare-down between light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier. As most of you know by now, Jones decided to head butt (lightly) Cormier, Cormier responded by shoving Jones, and then all heck broke loose as Jones knocked Sholler down and fired back with punches at Cormier.
The stage fell apart, Jones and Cormier hit the ground, crowds of people tried to break them up and the UFC got a dangerous but potent promotional gift of hype for the now-postponed title bout. Typically, UFC president Dana stands between fighters as they stare each other down at media events and weigh-ins but the boss man wasn't around that particular time and left Sholler in charge.
This week, White spoke up and said that he would have handled things a lot differently, had he been there, simply because he's had so much experience in similar situations."As soon as Jones went up and their bodies touched, I would have separated them," White told UFC.com.
"Sometimes you'll see me put a hand in, or sometimes you'll see me do something else. I would have separated them. It was the head butt - Jones headbutted Cormier - that's what upset him and made him push him back. I would have got my arm in there before that contact was even made. I would have seen the contact coming and I would have stopped it. Then I would have been right in the middle."
White didn't see anything too crazy in the brawl, and understands how things can naturally escalate quickly between men contracted to hurt one another. "One little thing can trigger two guys, who are the baddest dudes on the planet, who are face to face," he explained.
"That's what they do, period. People can try to sugar coat it or try to spin any way that they want, that's the reality. That's who they are, that's what they're paid to do and that's what you show up to watch. These guys, that's who they are to the core. And when you get two guys like that and you don't handle the situation the right way to defuse it, that's what happens. The difference is that Sholler has never been in that position before...These guys are fighters, man, they're ready to go. And that's what makes the weigh-ins so amazing and why I love it so much. Those staredowns, there's nothing [expletive] like it."
Though White said he would have likely seen the trouble coming a little sooner than Sholler, he didn't go so far as to say he would have been able to do much to stop Jones and Cormier, once they started fighting. "Would I have stopped that whole thing from going down, who the [expletive] knows?" he said.
"I wasn't here."

UFC's Chael Sonnen talks about why he chose to play a villain
Former UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen recently pulled back the curtain on his ridiculous but effective pro-wrestling act of the past four or so years, admitting that he intentionally tried to be a villain (or, "heel" in 'wrasslin' parlance), and revealing why he did. "I got hit with a PED charge and a criminal charge in the same month," said Sonnen on the Short Time Wrestling Podcast of his rough 2010 after losing to Anderson Silva a first time.
"The whole 'silly me' defense is a pretty good one. When you go, 'Listen, I didn't know. I didn't know the rules.' That works. That's a good, solid defense. One time. I needed it twice in the same month. So I just knew I was beat. As far as a PR standpoint goes, this is a disaster. Anybody in politics will tell you that when there's a problem you steer into it, so I came out of that mess and I just came out and said, 'Yeah, I'm a gangster. This is the life. This is what gangsters do.'
"People just started going into it. I just kept going with it, too. 'This is nothing. These are just the things I was caught for. You should hear what I got away with.' I started going really hard into it. Yea, it was a lot of fun and it did turn it around."
Sonnen went on to say that he relished the villain role because there was less competition than in the hero role. "For me, I prefer to be the heel," he said.
"I just have always preferred to incite them and make them angry. I had death threats in Brazil, but if you're a heel, this is a major win. What's stronger than that? It's always fun for me. One thing I picked up on was that nobody else wanted that. If you're up there competing for popularity, well, everybody wants to be liked. Everyone wants to be patted on the back. Now you're competing with everybody.
"If you go to the other end of the pool, you can have the water all to yourself. I became the biggest heel in MMA and possibly in sports kind of by just swimming down there and saying, 'Well, I want to be down here.' If I could do it over again, I'd definitely chose the same route. I might have laid it on a bit thicker at times but I would never go back."
Are you glad Sonnen decided to let his fight persona reflect his real-world crimes and offenses? Let us know in the comments section.

Kamal Shalorus grabs for gold again at ONE FC 19
Kamal Shalorus (9-3) was born and raised with wrestling all around him. Growing up near the wrestling hot-bed of Azerbaijan, Shalorus had both the intense Iranian and Russian wrestling cultures pushing in on him as a young man.
The wrestling passion of the region became his, and he used it to lift himself up, professionally. He would go on to represent Britain’s wrestling team at the 2004 summer games, and later become a top MMA fighter.
Kamal’s parents had no problem accepting his career as a wrestler, but fighting in a cage with less rules seemed more foreign to them, at first. “Wrestling, they knew, so they were very supportive,” he tells Cagewriter.
“But MMA, well, my mom was a lot more nervous about that (laughs). But now they see what it is and understand it a bit more.”
It took Shalorus some time himself to begin to fully understand MMA. He first got into the sport as a training partner for MMA fighters to better their wrestling, but soon realize that he was good enough to step into a second career as well.
“The transition was definitely challenging, especially the striking, but I enjoyed it and it ultimately came natural to me,” he says.
Indeed, Shalorus would go on to build an excellent record and fight in the WEC and UFC. In short time, the wrestler had gone from a training partner to an elite fighter himself.
Three straight losses in the UFC snapped the 37 year-old’s undefeated streak in MMA, however, and he had to find a new fighting home. He did so in Singapore-based top Asian promotion ONE FC.
Now, Shalorus is on a two-fight win streak and heads into a lightweight title shot against champion Shinya Aoki (35-6) Friday in Dubai at ONEFC 19. Combat sports have taken Kamal all over the world, since he left his home in Iran as a teenager, alone, two decades ago.
This week, it has taken him from his adopted home of Texas all the way to the U.A.E. for perhaps one last chance at gold. Nearing 40, Shalorus is confident in his skills, but eager to capitalize on a title shot.
“Fighting for a title means a lot,” he admits.
“I don’t know how long I’ll be able to do this, if I’m honest. Right now, I feel fantastic, and I go against the young guys and do well, but you never know when you’ll have to stop. We’ll see, later. So, I couldn’t be more motivated or excited for this fight than I am.”
The sense of urgency makes the opportunity against Aoki, a star in Japan and long top-ranked, even more special for Kamal. If the pressure is intense, the wrestler takes solace in the skills he’s been honing since he was a child.
“For sure Aoki has had difficulty against top wrestlers,” he says.
“He uses his Judo well and has great Jiu Jitsu on the ground, but I think I can test him.”

UFC's Bobby Green calls Donald Cerrone racist, sexist, bully
UFC lightweight Bobby Green was set to face Donald Cerrone before the UFC signed Eddie Alvarez and decided to replace the Bellator champ for Green. Turns out, Green would have especially liked to have gotten his hands on "Cowboy" Cerrone.
According to allegations Green made during an interview Monday with MMA Fighting, Cerrone made racist comments about Green, a well as groped and bullied UFC fans at a UFC Expo. "[Cerrone] just said some racist stuff," Green began.
"He said stuff like, random racist stuff like ‘we gotta check him, we gotta check him, you know how black people like to steal.' I'm like ‘what the,' and I'm getting hot in front of thousands of people, all these people are here for the signing and they're going 'ohhhh' and 'ooooh' and 'ahhh.'
"His boy [Isaac] Vallie-Flagg [said] ‘he had a little bit to drink,' he's like ‘let it go,' I'm like ‘man, I'm not tripping' and I'm laughing it off like 'hahaha. It's cool.' But inside, the real dude inside of me, we don't let that kind of [expletive] go, you know? I want to get his ass. But at the same time I'm like 'play it cool, don't make waves.'"
The UFC newcomer decided to lay low despite Cerrone's alleged comments in order to not escalate the situation. Later, during an autograph-signing session, Green says he saw Cerrone grope female fans and bully their partners.
"He was groping every woman in his line to do his signing," Green claimed.
"He's groping these women. They've got husbands, they've got fiancees, they've got boyfriends, I'm like, that's messed up man, just because this guy's a nerd and he can't do anything to you, you're going to do this to him. Girlfriend's cute, Donald Cerrone, picks her up, grabs her ass, starts grabbing on there and stuff and he's like 'I'm Donald Cerrone.' I'm like, 'you're going to piss somebody off, you get the wrong person they're going to get pissed.' He's like, 'what are they going to do to me, I'll knock them out.' I'm like what the? This guy's full of himself."
Green is no longer a UFC rookie, having won four straight bouts in the Octagon and eight straight, overall. So, he feels free to say what he thinks of the Greg Jackson/Mike Winkeljohn fighter, based on his alleged behavior at the UFC Expo.
"I liked the guy, I was a fan of him at the time. So I'm actually excited to meet the guy. I'm cool with him, I shake his hand, you know, and he's just been rude as hell," Green concluded.
"He is just the most obnoxious asshole I've ever met."

Kamal Shalorus grabs for gold again at ONE FC 19
Kamal Shalorus (9-3) was born and raised with wrestling all around him. Growing up near the wrestling hot-bed of Azerbaijan, Shalorus had both the intense Iranian and Russian wrestling cultures pushing in on him as a young man.
The wrestling passion of the region became his, and he used it to lift himself up, professionally. He would go on to represent Britain’s wrestling team at the 2004 summer games, and later become a top MMA fighter.
Kamal’s parents had no problem accepting his career as a wrestler, but fighting in a cage with less rules seemed more foreign to them, at first. “Wrestling, they knew, so they were very supportive,” he tells Cagewriter.
“But MMA, well, my mom was a lot more nervous about that (laughs). But now they see what it is and understand it a bit more.”
It took Shalorus some time himself to begin to fully understand MMA. He first got into the sport as a training partner for MMA fighters to better their wrestling, but soon realize that he was good enough to step into a second career as well.
“The transition was definitely challenging, especially the striking, but I enjoyed it and it ultimately came natural to me,” he says.
Indeed, Shalorus would go on to build an excellent record and fight in the WEC and UFC. In short time, the wrestler had gone from a training partner to an elite fighter himself.
Three straight losses in the UFC snapped the 37 year-old’s undefeated streak in MMA, however, and he had to find a new fighting home. He did so in Singapore-based top Asian promotion ONE FC.
Now, Shalorus is on a two-fight win streak and heads into a lightweight title shot against champion Shinya Aoki (35-6) Friday in Dubai at ONEFC 19. Combat sports have taken Kamal all over the world, since he left his home in Iran as a teenager, alone, two decades ago.
This week, it has taken him from his adopted home of Texas all the way to the U.A.E. for perhaps one last chance at gold. Nearing 40, Shalorus is confident in his skills, but eager to capitalize on a title shot.
“Fighting for a title means a lot,” he admits.
“I don’t know how long I’ll be able to do this, if I’m honest. Right now, I feel fantastic, and I go against the young guys and do well, but you never know when you’ll have to stop. We’ll see, later. So, I couldn’t be more motivated or excited for this fight than I am.”
The sense of urgency makes the opportunity against Aoki, a star in Japan and long top-ranked, even more special for Kamal. If the pressure is intense, the wrestler takes solace in the skills he’s been honing since he was a child.
“For sure Aoki has had difficulty against top wrestlers,” he says.
“He uses his Judo well and has great Jiu Jitsu on the ground, but I think I can test him.”

8/28 NIGHT UPDATE: Roundtable on Bisping's future; Holloway makes quick turnaround for Corassani bout; UFC 180 in Mexico City sells out; Bellator signs Lawal to extension; White on fighter trash talk; more

THURSDAY 8/28 NIGHTTIME 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 tonight:
-In a new roundtable this afternoon, the crew addressed what they want to see next for Michael Bisping after his win over Cung Le. Excerpt from Rich Hansen: “What I want to see is for him to not con Dana White and Joe Silva into an undeserved fight with Luke Rockhold, that's what I want to see. I get that he's a company guy (flack), and that he understands how the system works (bend over, grab knees), but he needs to be fighting in either high-profile fights that mean nothing to the rankings (Nick Diaz?), or working his way up as if his mouth isn't a bigger moneymaker than his fists (Thale Leites). He should fight Thales Leites in what would be a hell of a good fight, The winner of that fight would have a claim at a fight against a top-five guy.” Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for the full roundtable.
-Featherweight Max Holloway is making a quick turnaround after his UFC Fight Night 49 win, as he'll step in for the injured “Korean Zombie” against Akira Corassani at UFC Fight Night 53 in Stockholm. More on the switch on the mobile site.
-UFC 180 in Mexico City this November sold out in just eight hours this week, with 21,000 ready to fill the Mexico City Arena on Nov. 15. Further thoughts on the sell out and the event on the mobile site.
-Bellator announced this week that they've signed Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal to a lengthy extension which will keep him in the organization “for years to come.” Catch comments from Lawal and further thoughts on the extension on the mobile site now.
-Dana White shot down the idea that fighters need to be better trash talkers in order to get spots higher up the ladder in the organization, saying they don't need to talk more if it's not natural, they just have to be great fighters. See his thoughts with further analysis on the mobile site.
-If you want to take part in the MMATorch prediction and betting contests for UFC 177, head to the mobile site for instructions on how to participate in the game from new game-runner Tom Strong.

8/25 NIGHT UPDATE: Green accuses Cerrone of racist comments, groping female fans; Alvarez plans to win UFC Title in the next year; Rousey believes threat of armbar opened up last two TKO wins; Melendez doesn't want to be Pettis' friend; more

MONDAY 8/25 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. 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:
-Bobby Green levied some fairly heavy accusations on Monday against the man he was supposed to fight at UFC 178, Donald Cerrone, explaining why he still wants badly to fight the “Cowboy.” According to Green, during the UFC Fan Expo in July, Cerrone was groping female fans at an autograph signing, and in another incident, Cerrone made some racist jokes towards Green. It's a bit of a brutal tear down of Cerrone's character from Green. Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for his comments and further thoughts.
-The man Cerrone is facing now on that card next month, Eddie Alvarez, believes it's an exciting matchup serving as a stepping stone to further greatness in the UFC. Indeed, Alvarez by this time next year expects to be 3-0 inside the Octagon with the UFC Lightweight Championship around his waist. See his comments with further analysis on the mobile site.
-Ronda Rousey's last two wins coming by TKO was certainly a surprise for most, given she had stopped her previous eight opponents all by armbar. But that's exactly why she was able to get the TKO wins in those fights, as she believes the very fact that the armbar was established forced both Sara McMann and Alexis Davis to leave her other openings with which to pick up wins. More from Rousey on her Judo game in MMA and the armbar on the mobile site now.
-Gilbert Melendez said this week that fans shouldn't expect a ton of trash talk between he and Champ Anthony Pettis on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter, as they just didn't have a ton of interaction. He's not trying to be friendly with the Champ of course, he just believes they both do their talking in the cage. More of Melendez's comments with some additional thoughts on the mobile site.
-Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal this weekend commented on his fight with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson from May, saying he feels that everyone knows he won the fight, and that while he's open to a rematch, he doesn't think Jackson's heart is in the sport anymore. See Mo's comments with added analysis on the mobile site.
-Speaking of Bellator fighters, 13 from the roster are no longer with the organization, including former Champ Attila Vegh and tournament winner Shahbulat Shamhalaev. Head to the mobile site now for the full list of names cut from the roster this week.
-Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, who fights Gegard Mousasi next week on Fox Sports 1, believes he should have already fought for the UFC Title by this point given his ranking in the division. See his reasoning with further thoughts on the mobile site.
-Finally today, head to the mobile site to watch the first episode of “UFC 177 Embedded,” the internet video series following T.J. Dillashaw and Renan Barao into their title rematch on Saturday night.

We truly appreciate the feedback, and we're making changes as necessary. Here's what's on the site today:
-Bellator officially granted Eddie Alvarez an unconditional release today, and in very short time, he was snatched up by the UFC. The exiting Bellator Lightweight Champion will make his UFC debut on Sept. 27 at UFC 178 when he takes on Donald Cerrone in the night's co-main event in Las Vegas, a huge debut for the highly exciting competitor. Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for further analysis on the news, with some comments from Alvarez about his entrance into the UFC.
-In today's roundtable, the crew discussed whether or not Alexander Gustafsson should have to fight again now that the Jon Jones-Daniel Cormier bout has been delayed. Most expect him to have to fight again, but there are varying degrees in the responses. Excerpt from Dan Moore: “I feel sorry for Alexander Gustafsson, but there's no way the UFC were going to revert back to Plan A after the Jones and Cormier press conference debacle. He's suffering from the "What have you done for me lately?" syndrome, but it is what it is and now he needs to fight again. To sit on the sidelines for an extended period of time will not do him any good. Fighting Anthony Johnson is a big risk but another win for the Swede will guarantee he's next in line providing Jon Jones doesn't lose the belt next January.” Full roundtable on the mobile site now.
-Speaking of Jon Jones, it was Alistair Overeem who was grappling with him when his knee injury occurred, and now another Jackson-Winkeljohn competitor is taking issue with his training tactics. Andrei Arlovski ripped into Overeem this week in a Russian publication for nearly taking him out of his September main event bout due to overzealous sparring. See Arlovski's take with additional thoughts on the mobile site.
