Overview
FightNews is an independent Portuguese outlet that calls itself "o portal da luta de Portugal," the combat sports portal of Portugal. It covers MMA, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, boxing, karate, kempo and taekwondo.
The site, fightnews.pt, was publishing new stories every day in September 2026. The outlet also has a YouTube channel, @FightNewsPRO, an Instagram account, @fightnewsportugal, and its own live streaming platform, Fight News TV.
What you'll find
The site is organized by discipline, with news, interviews with Portuguese athletes, results, videos, photo galleries and a blogs and columns section. Each sport has its own section, so you can go straight to MMA or browse the other disciplines.
Coverage leans heavily on the domestic scene and events featuring Portuguese fighters. In September 2026, for example, the site covered results from DFC 51 in kickboxing, the MMA event MAC 17, MFC 54, UAE Warriors 73, Guimarães Fight Night II and the IV Open Famalicão jiu-jitsu tournament. Fight News TV is used to stream events live.
Why follow
FightNews lets you follow Portuguese fighters closely, from local tournaments up to international promotions like UAE Warriors. You get interviews and results from regional events, such as Guimarães Fight Night or the Open Famalicão, that big international outlets rarely cover.
The disciplines it covers, kickboxing, Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu and boxing, are also the building blocks of MMA. Following those scenes lets you discover Portuguese athletes in their original sport and spot the ones who might one day move to the cage. The blogs and columns section adds opinion pieces to the straight news.
MMA Official's take
FightNews is for Portuguese speakers, fans of the Portuguese scene and athletes who want to follow local competition. Start with the MMA section to see which Portuguese fighters are active, then watch the interviews posted after events.
If a Portuguese event catches your eye, check whether it is streaming on Fight News TV. For a wider view, browse the kickboxing and jiu-jitsu sections too. The Instagram account, @fightnewsportugal, carries results and photos from events, which is an easy way to follow the scene from your phone. The @FightNewsPRO YouTube channel is the place for video interviews and highlights.
