This December, MMA News will continue to serve as an industry leader in original content, timely reporting, and in-depth storytelling with:
- Original Stories: We will continue to be a facilitator for the wider news cycle with an unyielding commitment to originality and storytelling. This means the majority of our daily content will remain stories that were covered here first, with other outlets following our lead to supplement or steer their daily content. This is all made possible by our talented staff, including myself, Harvey Leonard, Curtis Calhoun, Nicole Bosco, Andrew Starc, Drew Beaupré, Derek Hall, and Tyriece Simon.
- Timeliness: Stay on top of the biggest industry announcements and latest scoops as soon as they drop. When it comes to both original stories and timeliness, MMA News continues to separate from the pack. But don’t take my word for it, compare and contrast the news curation of each day for yourself.
