Pull official UFC data at scale — fighter profiles and career records, complete event fight cards with results, and the live rankings for every weight division. One structured input covers fighters, events, and rankings, with optional deep career stats on demand. Built for MMA journalists, sports-betting analysts, and fantasy-MMA and fan-stats app builders who need a clean, structured UFC dataset without clicking through hundreds of athlete and event pages by hand.

Why This Scraper?

• Three data types in one actor — switch a single dropdown between Fighters (athlete profiles), Events (fight cards and results), and Rankings (official division standings). No endpoint strings to memorize.
• All 14 official rankings divisions — 8 men's and 4 women's weight classes plus men's and women's Pound-for-Pound, each returned with its reigning champion and up to 15 ranked contenders, including each contender's rank-movement arrow.
• Up to ~18 career stat fields per fighter when available — striking accuracy, significant strikes landed/absorbed per minute, takedown accuracy and defense, submission averages, and win-method breakdowns (by KO/TKO, submission, and decision), pulled straight from the athlete profile. Coverage is best-effort: most fighters return a full stat block, some return a partial set or none if their profile omits it.
• Full fight cards with verified results — every bout's red- and blue-corner fighter, and for completed events the winner, finish method (KO/TKO, Submission, Decision), round, and exact end time.
• Title-fight and bonus flags — each fight is tagged when it's a championship bout, and post-fight performance awards are captured when present.
• Filter by status, country, and division — narrow fighters to Active, Not currently fighting, or Retired, by place of birth (e.g. Brazil, Russia, United States), and by any of the 13 division filters (8 men's, 4 women's, plus Pound-for-Pound).
• Search by exact fighter or event name — pass names like "Jon Jones" or "UFC 300" and each term is resolved and merged automatically; leave it blank to sweep the entire roster or event calendar.
• Upcoming and past events — collect the full future calendar, completed events with final results, or both in a single run.
• Win-loss-draw records split into numbers — every fighter's record arrives as a clean string plus separate wins, losses, and draws integers, ready to sort and chart.

Tips for Best Results

• Use Rankings for the fastest division snapshot — a single Rankings run returns the current champion and top-15 contenders for every division at once, no search terms needed.
• Turn off includeDetails for a quick roster sweep, then re-run with specific fighter names and details on to pull deep stats only for the athletes you care about — faster and lighter than enriching the whole roster. Deep stats are best-effort, so a name-by-name run gives the most complete stat coverage for the fighters that matter to you.
• Pair a country or status filter with a weight division — these filters check each athlete's profile, so combining them with a division narrows the search and returns fuller results faster.
• Pass exact, common name spellings in searchTerms (e.g. "Sean O'Malley", "Israel Adesanya") so each fighter resolves on the first try.
• Set eventType to past to mine completed events for winners, finish methods, rounds, and end times — the result fields only populate for events that have already happened.
• Leave searchTerms empty with a maxResults cap to walk the roster or event calendar in controlled batches instead of pulling everything at once.
• Filter Rankings by gender to return just the men's or women's divisions in one pass.

Pricing

From $30.00 per 1,000 results — undercuts comparable UFC data tools while returning a richer, ready-to-use structure. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

A "result" is one record pushed to your dataset — one fighter, one event, or one division's ranking. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
