How do I get UFC fight stats per round in Python?
One fight with the full stat sheet for both fighters and a row per fighter per round: strikes landed and attempted by target and range, takedowns and control time.
Code verified October 10, 2026. One call to get_fight, 5 credits.
The call
bout_id comes from get_event or get_fighter_fights.
import requests
import pandas as pd
API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
resp = requests.post(
"https://mcp.fighterapi.com/v1/get_fight",
headers={"x-api-key": API_KEY},
json={
"bout_id": "401863575",
},
timeout=60,
)
resp.raise_for_status()
data = resp.json()["data"]
rounds = pd.DataFrame(data["rounds"])
print(data["bout"]["event_name"], data["bout"]["method_display"], "round", data["bout"]["end_round"])
print(rounds.pivot(index="round", columns="fighter_name", values="sig_landed"))
rounds["sig_accuracy"] = rounds["sig_landed"] / rounds["sig_attempted"]
print(rounds[["fighter_name", "round", "sig_landed", "sig_attempted", "sig_accuracy", "head_landed", "td_landed", "control_seconds"]].round(2))
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with a key from your dashboard. Python needs requests and pandas (pip install requests pandas). JavaScript runs on Node 18 or newer, or in the browser.
What comes back
The data object of the response, trimmed to the first rows. Every field is real output from the run above.
