Overview
Super Lutas is a Brazilian site covering the UFC and MMA, launched on January 4, 2021. Its editorial staff includes Bruno Bernardo. It is an independent outlet that publishes in Portuguese, with coverage centered on the UFC and the Brazilian fighters competing there.
The site used to run a podcast, the Super Lutas Podcast, which ended in late 2023. The website and YouTube channel are still active and now make up the core of the outlet.
What you'll find
Super Lutas covers UFC and MMA news: fight announcements, quotes, results and the event calendar. During UFC events, the site runs live coverage, fight by fight, from the prelims to the main event.
What sets it apart is its database of fighter records, the cartel in Portuguese, with a page for each fighter. You can check a fighter's record and recent results there, without switching to an English-language database while you read the news in Portuguese. The outlet also posts videos on YouTube and shares its stories on X and Instagram, both under @superlutas.
Why follow
Pairing news with a record database makes the site handy on fight night: you follow results live and pull up the background of every fighter walking into the cage with one click.
If you read Portuguese, it is a thorough source on the UFC as seen from Brazil, with extra attention on Brazilian fighters. The live coverage means you do not have to rely on social media to find out a result, and the calendar lets you plan your week of fights ahead of time.
MMA Official's take
Super Lutas is for Portuguese-speaking fans who want to follow the UFC day to day, and for anyone who needs a fighter's record fast. Start with the live coverage during the next UFC event, since that is where the site is most useful.
Then keep the record database handy to check a fighter's history before a bout. If you prefer video, the YouTube channel adds shorter formats to what the site offers. Because the podcast stopped in late 2023, the old episodes are archive material and no longer reflect current news, so stick to the site and channel for anything recent.
