Open Scoring MMA

Most MMA shows recap a card you already watched. This one is deliberately forward-first: what is happening now and what lands next — bookings, matchmaking, the fight that just became necessary — in five to ten minutes, every day.

It is AI-produced and human-reviewed, in that order and never the other way. Each episode is scripted from the day’s reporting, then fact-checked before anyone can approve it, then voiced and assembled and pushed to a feed we host ourselves, which is what makes a daily cadence survivable for one person. Nothing publishes unreviewed.

The name is a nod to the open-scoring argument in MMA judging — whether fighters and fans should see the scorecards round by round instead of at the end.

A companion fight tracker covers the schedule side: upcoming and recent cards across the major promotions, fighter records, odds, and countdowns. It installs as an app, and it exists because "when is that fight" is the question listeners ask most and the one a podcast answers worst.

The show is a single voice reading a tight script rather than a panel talking for an hour, which is a deliberate format choice: the audience for a daily is someone with a commute, not an evening. Ten minutes is the ceiling, and most episodes come in under it.

It publishes to a feed we host ourselves, which reaches the usual podcast apps without the show’s existence depending on any one of them. Losing a distribution platform should cost an audience, not an archive.
