GoKawiilApple Sports app adds live UFC fight tracking and stats
Apple has added UFC coverage to its free Sports app, letting users follow fight cards with live statistics including strikes, takedowns and knockdowns. The app includes custom animated artwork for UFC events and a new visualization showing strikes by target area, with Live Activity updates available on the iPhone lock screen.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Adding a major combat-sports league suggests Apple is broadening Sports beyond mainstream leagues to capture more niche but passionate fan bases, potentially increasing daily engagement with the app. Since Sports now ships preinstalled on new iPhones, UFC support could expose the app to a wider audience without users seeking it out.
- UFC fights now have live stat tracking in Apple Sports, including strikes and takedowns
