EnglishDoes MMA Fighting Cover MMA Promotions Beyond the UFC?
Updated
Yes. MMA Fighting's own site description states that it publishes "MMA News & results for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Strikeforce & more Mixed Martial Arts fights." The "& more" is not just a tagline — the homepage feed shows coverage that reaches past the UFC octagon into boxing, amateur MMA, and fighter business news. If you follow a promotion other than the UFC, or a combat sport adjacent to MMA, the site is worth checking, though the UFC remains its dominant subject.
What the stated coverage includes
The site's source description names three things directly:
- UFC — the clear center of gravity, based on how much of the feed is UFC-tagged.
- Strikeforce — a promotion the site names explicitly, even though Strikeforce was absorbed into the UFC in 2013. Its inclusion signals that the site's scope is historical as well as current.
- "More Mixed Martial Arts fights" — an open-ended category that, in practice, covers other promotions, amateur bouts, and non-UFC fight news.
Evidence from the current feed
The homepage feed at the time of this snapshot shows the range in concrete terms:
| Story | Category shown | Why it matters for scope |
|---|---|---|
| Callum Bisping knocked out in amateur MMA bout | Video | Amateur MMA, not a major promotion |
| Anthony Pettis set for boxing return vs. Neeraj Goyat in India | Boxing | A former UFC champion competing outside MMA entirely |
| Farid Basharat removed from UFC roster | UFC | Core UFC roster news |
| Jasmine Jasudavicius fined $10K over alleged "dip" | UFC | UFC event and regulatory news |
The Pettis item is the clearest signal: a former UFC champion's boxing bout is treated as news, which means the site's beat extends to combat sports beyond MMA when a well-known fighter is involved.
How to find coverage of a specific promotion
If you want to check whether MMA Fighting has covered a particular organization or event:
- Use the site search with the promotion's name (for example, "Strikeforce" or a regional promotion) to see whether it appears in headlines or article text.
- Scan the news feed and "More News" sections — the homepage paginates, so older items sit on subsequent pages rather than the front page.
- Check the community "Feed" — readers and staff post polls, links, and discussion threads that sometimes surface fights and promotions the news desk hasn't covered. Note that community posts are user-generated and not the same as editorial coverage.
What to expect, and what not to
- Expect: UFC as the primary focus, plus occasional coverage of other MMA promotions, amateur MMA, boxing involving MMA figures, and fighter business/roster news.
- Don't assume: that every regional or international promotion gets regular, dedicated coverage. The feed is UFC-heavy, and non-UFC stories appear more often when a recognizable name is attached.
- Don't assume: that a promotion's absence from the front page means it has never been covered — pagination and search are the better test.
In short: MMA Fighting is not a UFC-only outlet, but it is a UFC-first outlet. Its stated scope and its feed both confirm coverage beyond the UFC, with the caveat that the depth of that coverage depends on the promotion and the fighters involved.
