R1FC is the official event companion for RANK1 Superfights 01, Saturday 14 November 2026 at Tour & Taxis, Brussels. FIGHT NIGHT AT A GLANCE A live countdown to fight night on the home screen, with a Get tickets button that opens the official external ticket shop. Tickets are sold by the ticketing platform for a live physical event, never inside the app. THE TIMETABLE The timetable for the night, straight from the event team: doors, the submission grappling semi-finals and finals, the weigh-in and staredown, and the Muay Thai and kickboxing fights. THE SEATING PLAN An indicative plan of the hall around the ring: 8 VIP tables (two on each side), Ringside in the first two rows, Premium behind them and General Admission standing around the seats. Ticket holders pick their own seat on the RANK1 website. COMBAT SPORTS NEWS RANK1 news first, plus the latest MMA and combat sports headlines from public news feeds. STAY IN THE LOOP Join the event mailing list with your email address to hear about future events. That is the only personal information the app ever asks for, it is optional, and it is used only for the mailing list. No account. No sign in. Just the news, the timetable and the seating plan for fight night.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: R1FC at none against BJJ Round Timer's 1. BJJ Round Timer's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
