UFC & MMA Data Scraper — Fighters, Fight Cards, Stats & Rankings 🥊

foXLabs sports data: UFC/MMA · (Formula 1 · Golf · Cricket · Rugby — coming in the same family)

🎉 Turn UFC and MMA into clean, structured data: fighter profiles with full W-L-D records, fight cards with results, and official rankings by weight class. No API key, no login, no browser setup. Built for sports-betting and DFS modellers, media and stats products, and AI agents.

🔍 What is the UFC & MMA Data Scraper — and when should you use it?

Pick a mode and get rows you can filter, export or feed to a model, a spreadsheet or an AI agent:

• Rankings — the ranked fighters in every weight class (plus pound-for-pound), each with a full profile and record.
• Fighters — the full fighter roster with deep profiles.
• Events — fight cards over any date range, with each bout's result and both fighters' records.

Use it when you need: a fighter database with records and physicals; historical results to backfill a model; or a live ranking feed for a widget or bot.

Use something else when you want other sports' leagues: see the rest of the foXLabs sports family (Formula 1, Golf, Cricket, Rugby).

🤖 Use with AI agents

Already on the Apify MCP server? Ask for it by name: foxlabs/ufc-mma-data.

Your agent can pay for its own runs — pay-per-event with agentic payments over x402 (USDC on Base) or Skyfire, with no Apify account of its own. Billing is per delivered record, never for errors or empty results.

Paste into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP assistant:

Use the Apify Actor `foxlabs/ufc-mma-data`.
Input: `mode` = rankings | fighters | events; `includeStats` adds career stats;
`dateFrom`/`dateTo` set the range for events; `maxResults` caps rows.
Start with: { "mode": "rankings", "maxResults": 50 }

Things you can ask your agent:

• "Give me the current men's pound-for-pound top 15 with records."
• "List every lightweight fighter with reach, stance and team."
• "What fights happened last weekend, with results and both fighters' records?"

Machine-readable output: every run writes a JSON dataset you can pull from the Apify API or the .json dataset endpoint.

📋 Overview

The UFC & MMA Data Scraper reads a public, keyless sports data source live on every run and returns deduplicated, camelCase rows. There is nothing to configure: no cookies, no tokens, no proxies to buy.

Why teams pick this actor:

• ♻️ Fresh every run — reads the source live, so rankings and cards stay current.
• 🤝 Agent-ready — MCP + x402, billed per delivered record.

✨ Features

• 🏅 Full records — W-L-D with wins by KO/submission/decision where published.
• 📇 Deep profiles — weight class, height, reach, weight, stance, age, nationality, team, headshot.
• 🗓️ Fight cards with results — event, venue, date, both fighters, winner and status.
• 🥇 Official rankings — every weight class plus pound-for-pound.
• 📈 Optional career stats — striking and grappling splits with includeStats.
• 📦 Clean export — deduplicated camelCase rows, ready for CSV/Excel/JSON.

JavaScript (Apify client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('foxlabs/ufc-mma-data').call({ mode: 'rankings', maxResults: 50 });
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python (Apify client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("foxlabs/ufc-mma-data").call(run_input={"mode": "rankings", "maxResults": 50})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

n8n / Zapier / Make: use the Apify connector, pick this actor, map mode and maxResults, then route the dataset into your sheet, database or webhook.

❓ FAQ

Do I need an API key or a login to scrape UFC and MMA data?

No. You supply nothing: pick a mode and run. There is no API key to obtain, no account to connect and no browser to configure. The actor reads a public, keyless sports source directly through Apify's free datacenter proxy.

What does a fighter row contain?

A fighter's full name and nickname, weight class, the complete win-loss-draw record with finish breakdown (wins by KO, submission and decision where published), physicals (height, reach, weight, stance), age and date of birth, nationality, team, an active flag and a headshot URL. With includeStats, career striking and grappling splits are added.

How are the three modes different?

rankings returns the officially ranked fighters in each weight class plus pound-for-pound; fighters returns the full roster with the same deep profiles; events returns fight cards over a date range, each bout with both fighters' records and the result.

Why is a fighter missing from rankings?

Rankings mode only returns currently ranked fighters (champion plus the division top 15, and pound-for-pound). For an unranked or retired fighter, use fighters mode, which covers the full roster.

How current is the data?

Every run reads the source live, so rankings, rosters and fight results reflect what the source has published at run time. Results and rankings typically update within hours of an event.

Can I get career striking and grappling statistics?

Yes. Turn on includeStats in rankings or fighters mode. Each fighter then carries the published career splits (significant strikes, takedowns, submission attempts and more) as an extra lookup per fighter.

Does it cover promotions other than the UFC?

The source centres on the UFC and major MMA; fighters from other promotions appear where the source lists them, with the same fields. Coverage of a given regional promotion depends on what the source publishes.

How do I build a fighter database for a model?

Run fighters with includeStats: true for the full roster with records, physicals and career splits, then run events over your date range to attach fight-by-fight results. Join the two on the fighter name or id.

Can I export to CSV, Excel or JSON?

Yes. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Apify console, or pull it straight from the Apify API or the dataset's .json endpoint for a pipeline or an AI agent.

How is this different from a generic sports-scores scraper?

A generic scraper gives you the event result. This actor gives you the fighters: full records with finish breakdown, physicals, team and rankings — the firmographic depth that betting, DFS and media products need, not just who won.

🐛 Troubleshooting

• Empty result in events mode — widen dateFrom/dateTo; the default window is last 30 / next 60 days.
• A fighter has no career stats — not every fighter has published splits; the base profile is always present.
• Fewer rows than maxResults — maxResults is a cap, not a target; a mode returns what the source currently has.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape this data?

This actor reads publicly available, non-personal sports data (fighters, records, results and rankings) that is already published for public viewing. It collects no private or personal data and requires no login. You are responsible for using the output in line with applicable laws and the terms of the sites you rely on. When in doubt, consult a lawyer.
