Stupp was also the managing editor for MMA and boxing at The Athletic from 2019 to 2020,[4] where he spearheaded the 2020 MMA Fighter Survey project.[5] He was also the weekly MMA columnist for the Dayton Daily News from 2007 to 2011, and he also covered the legal gambling industry for Catena Media.[6]
