## Pricing

from $3.50 / 1,000 fights

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## UFC Fights, Stats & Odds History: Every Fight Since 2000

> 💰 **$5 per 1,000 fights** — result, both fighters' statistics and the odds in one row. Press **Start**: the prefilled input returns the last 3 UFC events and the upcoming cards in under a minute.

**Every UFC fight since 2000** (UFC 24 onwards — 881 events, about 9,000 fights) in one clean table: event, date, venue, weight class, bout order (main event first), both fighters with country and record, the **winner**, the **method** (KO/TKO, submission, unanimous / split / majority decision, draw, no contest), the **detail** (punches, rear naked choke…), the **round and the time** it ended — plus each fighter's **fight statistics** (significant strikes by target and position, total strikes, knockdowns, takedowns, submission attempts, time in control, advances, reversals…) and **sportsbook moneylines** since about 2019 (Bet365, Caesars, DraftKings, Betfair, Consensus…, opening and closing where available) with a **no-vig fair probability**. Upcoming cards come with the current odds.

Most UFC scrapers give you either the fight stats or the odds. This Actor joins them — ready for **MMA prediction models**, **betting backtests** and **fight analytics** in a spreadsheet, a database or a notebook.

### What you get for each fight

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `event`, `date`, `venue`, `city`, `country` | `UFC 287: Pereira vs. Adesanya 2`, `2023-04-09T02:00Z`, `Kaseya Center`, `Miami` |
| `boutOrder`, `isMainEvent`, `weightClass`, `scheduledRounds` | `1`, `true`, `Middleweight`, `5` |
| `fighter1`, `fighter1Country`, `fighter1Record` (and `fighter2…`) | `Alex Pereira`, `Brazil`, `13-4-0` (the record as ESPN lists it) |
| `winner`, `method`, `methodDetail`, `endRound`, `endTime` | `Israel Adesanya`, `KO/TKO`, `Punch`, `2`, `4:21` |
| `fighter1Stats`, `fighter2Stats` | `sigStrikesLanded`, `sigStrikesAttempted`, `knockDowns`, `takedownsLanded`, `takedownsAttempted`, head / body / leg and distance / clinch / ground breakdowns… |
| `odds` | per sportsbook: each fighter's moneyline, opening and closing price where known, rounds over/under |
| `fighter1FairProb` | no-vig probability that fighter 1 wins (the Consensus line, else the median of the books) |
| `status`, `fightId`, `eventId`, `scrapedAt` | `finished` / `scheduled` / `canceled`, ESPN's IDs, when it was read |

Coverage: statistics for practically every fight since 2000; odds for about 99% of the fights since 2019 (checked on 2023: 567 of 573 fights with odds, 569 with statistics).

### Example inputs

The whole history in one run (about 9,000 fights):

```json
{ "years": ["2000-2026"], "includeUpcoming": false }
```

One fighter's career: `{ "years": ["2000-2026"], "fighters": ["Adesanya"] }` · one season: `{ "years": ["2024"] }` · the next cards with odds only: `{ "lastEvents": 0, "includeUpcoming": true }`.

A full year (about 550 fights) takes well under a minute.

### How people use it

- **Prediction models**: strike and takedown differentials, finish rates by weight class, and the market's fair probability as a benchmark
- **Betting backtests**: closing moneylines against results — how often favourites win, underdog value by method
- **Fight analytics and content**: finishes by round, submission types, records by country

### Pricing

**$5 per 1,000 fights** on Apify's Free plan, $4.50 Starter, $4 Scale, $3.50 Business and higher (pay per event: one fight = one row with the result, both fighters' statistics and all odds). No proxy and no separate platform usage to pay for. The complete history since 2000 costs about $45.

### Notes
