What is Open Scoring MMA?

A daily MMA and UFC news podcast. Each episode is short and forward-first, covering what is happening now and next across the sport rather than long recaps.

How often does it release?

Every day. A fresh five to ten minute episode covering fighter status, callouts, card changes, and the next two cards.

It is live on Spotify now, and you can subscribe in any podcast app using our RSS feed. More platforms are being added.

Can I read the news instead of listening?

Yes. Every episode has a written companion on the site, and every story we cover gets its own page with the original reporting linked. The site is the full record, not a summary of the show.

Where do the facts come from?

Published MMA reporting, linked on every story. We do not report anything we cannot point at a source for, and an absent detail is left absent rather than guessed.

Is it affiliated with the UFC?

No. Open Scoring MMA is independent and not affiliated with the UFC, Zuffa, TKO, ONE Championship, the PFL, or any promotion.

Yes, and we say so on every page. The research, writing and voice are AI-produced from real published reporting, with human review. The about page explains exactly what that means.

What is the Fight Tracker?

A free installable web app at tracker.openscoringmma.com showing live and upcoming UFC and PFL cards, bout order, start times in your own timezone, and odds.
