UFCStats Fighter Scraper

🥊 UFCStats Fighter Scraper

Export UFC fighter profiles from UFCStats.com: professional record, height, weight, reach, stance, age, the eight career striking and grappling statistics, and every bout with opponent, method, round, time, strikes and takedowns. Search by name, paste fighter or event links, or walk the whole A to Z fighter directory. No login, no API key, about $18 per 1,000 fighters.

✨ Why use UFCStats Fighter Scraper?

• ⚡ Fast — 10 full fighter profiles with fight histories in a few seconds; the whole directory of about 4,600 fighters in a few minutes.
• 🥋 Complete fight history — every bout with result, opponent, event, date, method, round, time, knockdowns, significant strikes, takedowns and submission attempts, as shown ("21 / 27") and split into numbers for and against.
• 🔎 Three ways in — fighter names or nicknames, fighter / event / fight links, or last-name letters. Combine them in one run.
• 🎯 Filters that save money — stance, weight class and win/loss limits are applied from the directory before a profile is opened, so fighters that do not match are never charged.
• 📅 Upcoming bouts — when UFCStats lists a fighter's next fight, you get the opponent, event and date in nextFight.
• 🔓 No login needed — public pages only, datacenter proxy included in the platform usage.

🎯 Use cases

• 📊 Fight prediction models — career rates (SLpM, SApM, takedown accuracy and defence) plus bout-by-bout stat lines for training and backtesting.

• 🎙️ Fight-week content — stat packs and tale-of-the-tape graphics for podcasts, previews and social posts.

• 💰 Betting research — join fight histories with your own odds data to test angles by method, round or weight class.

💰 Pricing

Pay per result:

• $0.018 per fighter saved ($18 per 1,000).
• $0.007 per fight history ($7 per 1,000), only when fight history is on and the fighter has at least one bout.
• No start fee. Platform usage (compute and datacenter proxy traffic) is billed on top and is tiny: a 10-fighter run uses well under $0.001.

Worked example: 1,000 fighters with fight history ≈ $25.00 + under $0.10 usage. 1,000 profiles without fight history ≈ $18.00.

Set a maximum charge for the run and the scraper stops cleanly when it is reached, so you never pay for more than you allow.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape UFCStats? The scraper reads public pages that anyone can open without an account. Check the site's terms and your local rules for how you use the data.

Do I need a login or my own proxy? No. No account is needed, and the default datacenter proxy works well for UFCStats.

How many fighters can I get? Everything UFCStats lists: about 4,600 fighters across A to Z. Leave names, links and letters empty and set Max fighters to 0 for the full directory.

Why are some fields empty? UFCStats leaves some profiles incomplete, mostly for older or one-fight fighters (no reach, no stance, -- for date of birth, or no per-bout strike numbers for early events). Those fields come back as null. Career statistics show 0 when UFCStats shows 0.00.

How do weight class filters work? UFCStats lists one weight per fighter (the latest). The weight class comes from that weight: 155 lbs is Lightweight, 170 Welterweight, and so on. A fighter who moved divisions is filed under the latest one.

Can I schedule it or use it from code? Yes. Schedule runs in the console, or start them through the API and read the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

⚠️ Limits

• Only what UFCStats.com publishes: no rankings, odds, gym or country, and no round-by-round fight breakdowns (each bout comes as totals).
• Filters on fighters given by link are checked after the profile is read (a fighter who does not match is skipped and not charged); for names and letters they are checked in the directory first.
• Name search matches first names, last names and nicknames, the same way the site's own search does; fighters known by a different spelling may need the link instead.
• Weight class is derived from the single weight UFCStats lists.
