10/28 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:

-UFC Champ Cain Velasquez is hurt worse than initially feared, as more damage in his knee was found when he underwent surgery this past week. His coach Javier Mendez now says that the Champ will be out longer than expected, though he's still targeting a spring 2015 return. Head to our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser for Mendez's comments with further analysis on the Champ's once again delayed return to action.

-Michael Bisping commented this week on his losses to several PED users over the years, and he explained why he's not bitter about the defeats. Catch his comments on those fights, and why he's not dwelling on the past, along with further analysis on the mobile site.

-Paul Daley's been granted his work visa to once again fight in the U.S., and he's expected to make his return to Bellator in early 2015. More on that situation with additional reaction on the mobile site.

-15 of the 16 competitors on The Ultimate Fighter 20 will compete on the Finale card this December, with the injured Justine Kish the only one not making an appearance. More thoughts on the unsurprising news on the mobile site.

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!
