How it works
- The AI newsroom reads MMA and boxing news from outlets and X all day, and flags reports that aren't official yet.
- Each rumor is filed with who reported it first, then checked against the news until it comes true or doesn't.
- Your check is judged by an AI (Claude) only against what MMA-TV tracks, and shows its receipts. If we have nothing, it says so.
