About MMASucka

MMASucka is an independent global newsroom that covers mixed martial arts and combat sports, primarily focusing on the UFC, ONE Championship, and Glory Kickboxing. Founded in 2010, MMASucka has grown into one of the longest-running independent MMA publications in the world, with a staff that covers +200 writers, editors, and analysts reporting and writing from the cities where the sport actually takes place.

What is MMASucka

MMASucka is an independent global publication, which means that no combat sports promotion, fighter management company, or sportsbook owns us. Thus, we always maintain our editorial independence within our newsroom. 

While our revenue comes, indeed, from advertising and disclosed affiliate partnerships, they do not influence what we cover or how we cover it.

What We Cover

  • UFC: Breaking news, live event coverage round by round, post-fight analysis, rankings, predictions, and profiles on more than 4,800 fighters across every division.

  • ONE Championship: Asia's premier MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and submission grappling promotion. For this part, we have reporters writing from Bangkok, Manila, and Tokyo. The section includes profiles on more than 1,300 ONE athletes.

  • Glory Kickboxing: It is Europe's leading kickboxing organization, where we cover on-the-ground Collision events and World Series cards. Here, we include profiles on more than 230 Glory fighters.

By combining UFC, ONE Championship, and Glory Kickboxing, MMASucka maintains profiles on more than 6,400 fighters, being one of the most comprehensive combat sports databases on the web.

Moreover, we also cover PFL, Bellator, BKFC, RIZIN, and regional combat sports when the storylines deserve it. See our News section for the full feed.

How We Report

There is always a byline for every article that points out to a real journalist, with an actual beat. All of the reporting is always backed up by original sources prior to publication, press releases, sports commissions, and even fighters themselves. We classify any opinion as such and openly acknowledge any mistakes on a Correction page. Furthermore, we do not publish any AI-generated articles.

Newsroom

We have a global presence, as MMASuckra’s editorial team works across 20+ countries on five continents. Where sports actually happens, this is where our reporters live: Las Vegas, Bangkok, Tokyo, Manila, Rotterdam, Rio de Janeiro, London, Bucharest, Sydney, Montreal. 

The impact of having reporters on-site? A heavyweight fighter from Brazil joining the ranks of the UFC is news in Portuguese, and a Thai prospect gets covered by writers who have walked through his gym.

Who Writes MMASucka

The people who write at MMASuckra were, in fact, MMA fans even before becoming journalists, and that ordering matters.

Within our newsroom, we included those writers who built their careers around a sport they would have been passionate about, whether someone paid them or not. Our staff writers know the difference between a Thai clinch and a Greco clinch, remember which Glory tournament Buakaw walked out of and why, and can name the camps that built the fighters they cover.

That is what devoted, independent combat sports journalism looks like, and that is the only kind MMASucka has ever published throughout the years.
