MONDAY 4/28 MORNING NEWS UPDATE

Good morning, everyone! Check out the big update on the App's home page for new 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 a rundown of the news on our main listing this morning:

-Glover Teixeira's shoulder was injured in the first round against Jon Jones on Saturday night, with the elbow crank move Jones used messing it up badly. He'll be getting an MRI to assess the damage on Wednesday. Get comments from his coach John Hackleman and analysis in the main listing now.

-Jones received an extremely warm welcome from the crowd in Baltimore on Saturday, and he talked about how much he appreciated that crowd reaction after the fight. See his thoughts on the Baltimore crowd and his Ray Lewis dance, with added commentary at MMATorch.com in your mobile browser.

-After complaining about his contract, Nate Diaz now may be ready to return to action. Dana White said on Saturday night that Diaz spoke with UFC matchmaker Joe Silva and says he's ready to fight. More with analysis in the main listing.

-Charles Oliveira and Hatsu Hioki have been booked for the UFC Fight Night 43 card in New Zealand this June. Get more on both fighters and their recent records in the main listing.

-In our morning poll, we asked readers what they thought was the most surprising thing out of UFC 172 on Saturday night. By a large margin, garnering 73% of the vote, Anthony Johnson stuffing every one of Phil Davis' takedown attempts was the clear winner. That response itself isn't all that surprising. Get your votes in 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!
