| 08/15/2026 | New document (user request: next-UFC-event info plus fight assessments). Numbered UFC events pass the 1-year test — cards and results are looked up for years — and search interest peaks around event day, which is within 24 hours of publication. "Assessment" here is strictly sourced: fight-week odds cross-confirmed by two odds sites (WSN, Covers), streaks cross-confirmed where possible, and single-source figures (overall records, height/reach, Dern/Robertson streaks) filed as claims. No house predictions — the site does not handicap. Verification notes: a calendar site described the main event as a lightweight bout — wrong; Wikipedia, the official UFC page, and both odds sites confirm it is the welterweight title. One preview article also carried a wrong date line (July 11) and was dropped as a source. kr.ufc.com serves 403 to non-browser clients but is live for readers; its content (full card, KST times) was verified via full page fetch. Status set to ongoing (10/15 cap): the event is hours away — the hourly ops loop should append results and flip status after the card concludes. | Updated |
