How The Feed Community Section Works on MMA Fighting

The Feed is MMA Fighting's on-site community discussion area, where readers post their own threads and interact with others. You can create a post, vote in polls, and leave comments, and the feed can be sorted by "Most Recs" or "Most Replies" to surface the most-recommended or most-discussed threads. It sits alongside the site's editorial MMA and UFC news coverage rather than replacing it.

What you can do in The Feed

Based on the section as it appears on the site, the main actions are:

• Create Post — start your own thread in the community feed.
• Comment — reply to existing posts; each post shows a comment count and a comment icon.
• Vote in polls — poll posts display a closing time and a running vote total.
• Sort the feed — switch between "Most Recs" and "Most Replies" to change which posts appear at the top.
• Expand All — open up the full set of posts rather than a collapsed view.

Posts also carry signals about who wrote them. Some authors are marked with a Star, and timestamps appear in relative form (for example, "2h" or "1d").

How posts are organized

Each entry in The Feed typically shows:

Sorting by Most Recs pushes posts the community has recommended most; sorting by Most Replies pushes the threads with the most active discussion. That makes the two views useful for different goals — one for what people liked, one for what people are arguing about.

What kinds of discussions show up

The community content is fan-driven and broad. Examples visible in the feed include:

• Event polls, such as a poll asking who wins an upcoming UFC Edmonton main event, with a closing window and vote count.
• Fighter topics, such as a thread about Alex Pereira and Valter Walker, or a discussion of sayings fighters repeat that annoy fans.
• Fighter conduct debates, such as a post arguing Bruce Buffer should ask Josh Hokit to "show some class."
• Random fight history threads.
• Off-topic or media posts, such as a post about watching "Freedom 250" in its original form.

So the section is not limited to breaking news — it functions as a general fan forum attached to the news site.

How it relates to the rest of MMA Fighting

The Feed appears as a distinct block within the site, labeled "The Feed" with a "See all community posts" link. The main news columns around it carry reported items — for example, UFC roster news, fighter interviews, and event results — attributed to staff writers. In other words, editorial coverage and community posts are separate streams that share the same site.

The page also promotes the SB Nation app, which is consistent with MMA Fighting operating within the SB Nation network.

Practical notes before you jump in

• You need an account to post or comment. The presence of "Create Post," comment counts, and named user handles implies logged-in participation; the source material does not describe a guest-posting option.
• Polls are time-limited. A poll shows a closing window (for example, "Closes in 3 days"), so votes after that point won't count.
• Recs and replies are the two ranking levers. If you want visibility for a thread, engagement in either form moves it up when readers use those sort options.
• Community posts are not staff reporting. Treat threads as fan opinion unless they link to a sourced article.

If your goal is to follow reported MMA and UFC news, use the main news sections; if your goal is to discuss, predict, or debate with other fans, The Feed is the place to create a post, vote, and comment.
