During fights, the app offers round-by-round updates and a heat map of strikes, among other features. The new soccer coverage is the Chinese Super League, the Russian Premier League and Sweden's Allsvenskan.\n\nThe round-by-round updates fit the sport well. A fight is structured in rounds, so a score-checking app has something to report before the final result. The heat map is the more ambitious piece, because it moves the app from scores into in-fight data. Whether it earns its place will depend on how readable it is on a phone screen.\n\nThe soccer additions are a smaller change, and they matter mainly to fans of those three leagues. Together, the two additions show the app growing in two directions at once: deeper on one sport, wider on another. The app is free, so testing the heat map costs a download.","[\"apple\",\"ufc\",\"sports-apps\",\"iphone\"]","2026-11-12T16:34:25.000Z","2026-11-12T16:53:20.199Z","2026-11-12T16:53:23.295Z","published",null,[24,30,34],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"The source says only that the update arrived 'today' and gives no date, so remove or verify the 'November 12' claim; also cut the drafting-artifact phrasing ('the update as described', 'the update description does not settle it') and state plainly that Apple hasn't said whether the heat map updates live, and tighten the speculation about Apple's design intent and the 'smaller draws' judgment so they are clearly framed as the writer's analysis.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"Cut or source the unsupported claims: 'the first combat sport in an app built around live scores' and 'Allsvenskan has... little presence in US-focused apps' appear nowhere in the MacRumors source.
