Overview
UppercutMMA is a French news site covering MMA and combat sports. According to its About page, it has covered the sport since 2015. It is owned by Prisma Media, a publisher based in Gennevilliers, outside Paris. Axel Pichon is one of the writers you will see in the bylines. Articles are in French and written for a French-speaking fan base.
Beyond MMA, the site also covers boxing and kickboxing. On social media it posts as Uppercut Combat, on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
What you'll find
On the MMA side you get UFC, PFL and KSW news plus fighter profiles. The most useful format is the "tout savoir" (everything you need to know) guide: for each major event, one article lists the date, start time, TV or streaming options and the full card. The site did this for ARES 25 and ARES 30, two events from the French promotion ARES.
Prisma Media also produced an MMA podcast called Takedown, which ended in March 2019. Today the output is the website and the Uppercut Combat social accounts, where short posts relay the news.
Why follow
UppercutMMA covers several promotions rather than just the UFC. If you watch PFL, KSW or ARES, you get the practical information that general newspapers cover less often.
The event guides save time on fight night: one page tells you where to watch, when, and who is fighting. Fighter profiles fill in the gaps when a new name shows up on a card. Because the site also covers boxing and kickboxing, you can follow fighters who move between sports without leaving the same outlet. For English speakers, it is a practical window on the European promotions the US press rarely covers in detail.
MMA Official's take
This outlet is for French-speaking fans who follow several promotions and want practical information fast, and for those who also watch boxing and kickboxing. For debate or long-form analysis, pair it with a YouTube channel or a podcast.
Start with a "tout savoir" guide before the next ARES or PFL event. One article shows what the site does best: date, time, broadcast and card in one place. On mobile, the Uppercut Combat TikTok account gives you the news in short form.
