A newsroom, with a long memory

The work starts
with looking.

Across eight states, fighters build competitive lives in local gyms, amateur tournaments and regional promotions. Their achievements often remain scattered across result sheets, gym announcements and local news reports.

Roundhouse brings that reporting together. We research fighters, follow the evidence and publish their stories with sources you can inspect. Selected results are labelled by the evidence available; gaps and conflicting records stay visible.

We welcome athletes’ corrections and perspectives after publication. Coverage starts with responsible public reporting, without a membership or submission requirement.
