An MMA API returns mixed martial arts data as JSON: schedules, fight cards, results, statistics and fighter records. The UFCalendar MMA API covers UFC, PFL, OKTAGON, BKFC and RIZIN through one schema, so the same request shape works for all five.

Is there a free MMA API?

We have no free tier. Evaluation is a free 1-day, 100-request trial that needs no card and is available once per account. After that, plans start at $19 a month for 30,000 requests at 60 per minute, with hard caps and no overage billing.

Which promotions does it cover?

UFC, PFL, OKTAGON, BKFC and RIZIN — with Dana White's Contender Series and Road to UFC served under the UFC. UFC goes back to UFC 1 in 1993. GET /v1/orgs lists every promotion with per-promotion capability flags, so you can check rather than assume.

How fresh is the data?

Results land about two minutes after the final horn during live cards; upcoming cards are re-read every two hours. Instead of polling you can register a signed webhook and receive fight results, card changes and event completions as they happen.

Is there an MCP server for this MMA API?

Yes — a hosted MCP server at api.ufcalendar.com/mcp over Streamable HTTP, with the same endpoints as tools. Add it as a custom connector in Claude.ai or ChatGPT, or register it in Claude Code, Cursor or Codex. One tool call counts as one request.

Is there a Tapology or FightCenter API?

Tapology publishes no public API, so developers who need its kind of data end up scraping the site. The UFCalendar MMA API returns the same kind of material — fighter records, full careers, upcoming and past cards — as licensed JSON with a documented schema and a self-serve trial, so there is nothing to scrape and no terms to work around.

Does the MMA API include betting odds?

No. That is a deliberate product decision rather than a gap, and it will not change; if you need odds, another provider is the right tool. We do serve the official commission record for decisions: judge names, per-round points, card totals and deductions.

What is an MMA API?

An MMA API is a web service that returns mixed martial arts data — schedules, fight cards, results, statistics and fighter records — as structured JSON your code can read, instead of as a web page you would have to scrape. You authenticate with a key, request the slice you need, and get a stable schema back.

What is an MMA data API?

“MMA data API” and “fight data API” usually mean the same thing as an MMA API, with the emphasis on depth rather than on the schedule: per-round striking and grappling lines, career aggregates, rankings history and official scorecards. That is the half most feeds stop short of, and the half this API is built around.

Coverage by promotion

What is actually in the database today, per promotion. Every number is a prod count, not a projection — and a promotion with no commission coverage shows no scorecards rather than a padded figure.

Promotion	Archive opens	Events	Bouts	Rounds with statistics	Bouts with scorecards
UFC	1993	800	9,016	41,526	3,802
PFL	2017	138	1,399	3,816	423
OKTAGON	2016	151	1,253	4,435	191
BKFC	2018	167	1,756	9,432	✗ No
RIZIN	2015	85	904	1,666	43

Every promotion is served through the same endpoints and the same schema; ask GET /v1/orgs which capabilities each one has rather than assuming.

Endpoints

Twenty-plus REST endpoints under one bearer key. Cursor pagination, snake_case JSON, a stable envelope. Full reference in the docs.

Quickstart in curl, Python and JavaScript

curl, Python and TypeScript, all in the page. The same three calls work against every promotion — change one parameter.

curl

$ curl "https://api.ufcalendar.com/v1/events?org=pfl&status=completed&limit=1" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $UFCAL_KEY"

{
  "data": [

  "meta": { "pagination": { "next_cursor": null } }
}

Python

import requests

API = "https://api.ufcalendar.com/v1"
H = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {UFCAL_KEY}"}

# One loop, five promotions — the same schema for every one of them
for org in ("ufc", "pfl", "oktagon", "bkfc", "rizin"):

    if not events:
        continue
    nxt = events[0]
    print(f"{org.upper():8} {nxt['starts_at']}  {nxt['title']}")

# Which promotions expose which capabilities? Ask, don't assume.
for o in requests.get(f"{API}/orgs", headers=H).json()["data"]:
    print(o["slug"], o["capabilities"])

JavaScript

const API = "https://api.ufcalendar.com/v1";
const headers = { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.UFCAL_KEY}` };

// Last completed card in every promotion we cover, newest first
const orgs = ["ufc", "pfl", "oktagon", "bkfc", "rizin"];
const cards = await Promise.all(
  orgs.map((org) =>

      .then((r) => r.json())
      .then((j) => j.data[0]),
  ),

for (const c of cards.filter(Boolean)) console.log(c.org, c.starts_at, c.title);
