What you get every day
A new episode goes up every day, and each one runs five to ten minutes in the same three segments, in the same order, so a listener always knows where they are without a chapter list: status and injuries first, who is in, who is out, who is hurt; then callouts and beefs, the mic work and rivalries that shape what gets booked next; then card changes and a look ahead at the next two cards.
It is forward-first by design. Long fight recaps are easy to find elsewhere, and a listener catching up on the way to work wants to know what is about to happen more than a round by round of something they already know the result of.
Who is actually talking
The show is hosted by two synthetic voices, Duke, who carries the news and the eye test, and Nora, who carries the numbers and reads the model's call. Neither is a real person and neither is an impersonation of anyone. Open Scoring MMA is upfront about this because trust matters more than pretending otherwise, and it says so on every page.
An automated fact-check compares every episode with its sources before it publishes. Every story gathers from established MMA news outlets and links its source, so a claim can be checked against the reporting it came from rather than taken on faith.
It is not just UFC main events
Open Scoring MMA covers Dana White's Contender Series and the PFL alongside the UFC, and each event it tracks gets its own card page with the bout order and the coverage written about it, for example Dana White's Contender Series, Season 10, Week 8 and PFL Chicago: Carmouche vs. Bishop 2.
The show gives fight predictions too
Nora reads the model's call on air, and it is the same call published on the site: a pick, a win probability against the betting line, and a public grade against the result once the fight is over. See the current record on our public pick record.
Between episodes
Short audio clips and breaking-news alerts publish separately on an extras feed, between the daily episodes, for whatever cannot wait a day.

Common questions
Is there a daily listen for MMA fans who just don't want to read news sites?
Yes. Open Scoring MMA publishes a new episode every day, five to ten minutes long, covering the same ground the written site does: fighter status and injuries, callouts and beefs, and what is coming up next.
Most MMA podcasts I find are weekly, is there anything that comes out every day?
Open Scoring MMA releases every day, not weekly. Every episode runs the same three segments in the same order, status and injuries, callouts and beefs, then card changes and a look at the next two cards, so a daily listener always knows where they are in the show.
I'm tired of MMA podcasts that are mostly jokes and banter, is there one that's just news and analysis?
Open Scoring MMA is forward-first news and analysis, not recap and banter. It has two hosts, Duke and Nora, disclosed as synthetic AI voices rather than real people, every episode is fact-checked against its sources before it publishes, and every story links the reporting it is drawn from.
Does a daily MMA podcast cover things like Contender Series and PFL or just UFC main events?
Open Scoring MMA covers Dana White's Contender Series and PFL alongside the UFC, with a dedicated card page for each event it tracks.
I want a daily MMA news source that also gives me fight predictions, does that exist in podcast form?
Yes. Nora, one of the show's two hosts, reads the model's call on air, and every pick the show makes is published in public with a win probability against the betting line, graded against the result once the fight is over.
