Editorial Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2026

What FightPulse publishes

FightPulse publishes mixed martial arts news, results, previews and commentary. News reports identify the public records, official results or attributable reporting used to establish the facts. Analysis and opinion are presented as editorial judgment rather than confirmed news.

Sources and original contribution

A published article must include identifiable external sources or a documented first-hand reporting exception. Editors check factual claims and quotations, record what the article adds beyond its sources, and review every image used with the story. Simply rewriting another publisher's report is not enough to pass review.

FightPulse prefers primary sources such as official event results, promotion announcements, regulatory records and direct statements. When a secondary report is necessary, the article should name and link that source.

AI-assisted drafts

Software, including AI-assisted tools, may help prepare drafts, headlines or search descriptions. AI output is not a source and can contain errors. A draft cannot be published until its sources, quotations, original contribution and image documentation have been reviewed. FightPulse remains responsible for the finished article.

Images and rights

A photograph credit identifies a creator or source; it does not by itself establish permission to publish. New stories require documented ownership, permission, licensing, public-domain status, commissioned artwork or an individual editorial-use review. Visible credits are included when applicable.

Bylines

Individual names identify the byline attached to an article. The FightPulse Editorial Team is a house byline used when responsibility belongs to the publication rather than one named contributor. FightPulse does not publish unverified biographies, credentials or social profiles as proof of expertise.

Corrections and updates

To report a factual error, attribution problem or image-rights concern, use the contact form or email info@fightpulse.net. Include the article URL, the exact passage or image at issue, why you believe it is wrong, and supporting evidence.

FightPulse reviews the request against the article's sources and relevant primary material. When a material factual error is confirmed, we correct the article and add a dated note explaining what was wrong and what changed. Minor spelling, formatting or broken-link fixes may be made without a note when they do not change the meaning. New information added after publication is labeled as an update. If a requested change is not made, the requester may provide additional evidence and ask for a second review.

Advertising and independence

FightPulse has Google AdSense code on the homepage, the news index and eligible article pages. Google decides whether advertising inventory is filled, so an ad may not appear on every visit. Advertising placements are separate from editorial decisions and do not determine article conclusions. Optional advertising storage and personalization follow the choices described in our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy. Any affiliate relationship must be disclosed on the relevant page.
