🥊 UFCStats Fighter Profiles & Fight History Scraper

🚀 Pull UFC fighter profiles, career records, striking and grappling statistics, and full per-fight history in seconds. Filter by stance, minimum wins, search by name, or target specific fighter URLs. No API key, no registration, no manual CSV wrangling.

UFCStats.com is the official statistical archive maintained by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. It is the canonical source for every UFC, Strikeforce, WEC, Pride, and PFL veteran ever signed to the promotion, with structured records for career striking accuracy, takedown defense, submission attempts, and a fight-by-fight breakdown of every bout. The data is public, but the site is built around an alphabetical jump-table and per-fighter HTML pages with no API, no JSON endpoints, and no bulk export. Stitching together a usable dataset means walking 26 letter pages, opening each fighter, parsing free-form rows, and reconciling missing values.

This Actor scrapes the same fighter pages a regular UFCStats visitor sees and returns each record as flat, well-typed JSON ready to drop into a sports model, a betting dashboard, or a fantasy MMA app. Each record covers the fighter name, nickname, official record (W-L-D and No Contests), physical attributes (height, weight, reach, stance, date of birth), the full eight career metrics UFCStats publishes (significant strikes landed and absorbed per minute, striking accuracy and defense, takedown average, takedown accuracy and defense, submission average), and the complete fight history with opponent, event, date, method, round, time, knockdowns, significant strikes, takedowns, and submissions per round. Target a single fighter by URL, run a name search like "mcgregor" or "silva", restrict to one letter of the alphabet, or pull the entire roster.

📋 What the UFCStats Scraper does

• 🔍 Name search. Free-text query across first name, last name, and nickname using the live UFCStats search endpoint.
• 🔗 URL targeting. Drop in any list of fighter-details URLs and pull only those profiles.
• 🔤 Alphabet walk. Restrict to one or more starting letters of the last name, or leave empty to walk A through Z.
• 🥋 Stance filter. Keep only Orthodox, Southpaw, Switch, Open Stance, or Sideways fighters.
• 📊 Record thresholds. Set minimum career wins or minimum career losses to focus on tenured roster members.
• 📜 Optional fight history. Toggle the per-fight history table on or off to keep records compact for bulk pulls.

Every record includes the UFCStats fighter ID, canonical profile URL, full name split into first and last, nickname, official W-L-D record with No Contests, height in feet and inches plus a parsed inch value, weight in pounds, reach in inches, stance, date of birth in ISO format and a computed age, the eight career striking and grappling metrics, the total fight count, and a nested array of every recorded fight with opponent, event, date, method, round, time, and per-round stat splits.

💡 Why it matters: UFCStats is the most authoritative MMA dataset and the only public source for these per-minute and per-15-minute career metrics. Pulling it directly gives you fresher numbers than any aggregator and no per-seat license.

⚠️ Good to Know: UFCStats stance, reach, height, and DOB are entered manually and a meaningful share of older or one-fight roster members have missing fields. The Actor reflects whatever the source has, returning null rather than guessing.
