Overview
Low Kick MMA is an independent combat sports news site in English. The site says it was founded in 2003, which puts it among the oldest online outlets dedicated to MMA. It is not tied to any media group or fight promotion, and it writes for a worldwide audience rather than one country.
The staff includes Timothy Wheaton, Gerard Crispin and Pranav Pandey. They handle breaking news, results, rumors and interviews, with updates every day. The site takes its name from the low kick, the strike to the legs used in MMA as well as in Muay Thai and kickboxing.
What you'll find
The UFC comes first, but the site also covers the PFL, RIZIN in Japan and ONE Championship in Asia. That range lets you follow fighters competing outside the UFC without switching sites. Boxing and bare-knuckle get space too, along with Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Formats run from short breaking news posted as soon as an announcement drops, to event results, fight rumors and interviews. The site publishes several times a day, so it works as a place to check what happened in the last few hours, whatever the promotion or the sport.
Why follow
Low Kick MMA is worth following if you keep up with several promotions at once. Many English-language sites stick almost entirely to the UFC. Here, RIZIN, ONE Championship and the PFL get real coverage, with their results and announcements, next to boxing and other striking sports.
The site also helps with the disciplines next to MMA. If you train in or follow Muay Thai or Brazilian jiu-jitsu, you get their news in the same place as cage fighting, which saves you from juggling a separate specialist source for each discipline you care about.
MMA Official's take
Low Kick MMA is for fans who look beyond the UFC: RIZIN, ONE Championship, PFL, boxing and bare-knuckle. It also suits Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners who want to follow their sport and MMA on one English-language site.
Start with the results of a RIZIN or ONE Championship event, which are harder to find in English elsewhere. Then move to the day's UFC breaking news and to the interviews posted in the week before a big event. If you follow boxing or bare-knuckle, add those sections to your routine, since they run on the same daily schedule as the MMA coverage.
