# ESPN UFC Event Card

> ESPN UFC Event Card is a paid API for AI agents from api.fadeandco.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability espn-ufc-event-card-bfef0504
```

Example prompt: What does the current UFC fight card look like? Show me all the fights with fighter names and records for the next event.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, structured snapshot of the current or next UFC event card sourced from ESPN — ideal for pre-event previews, live result checks, or building UFC fight summaries without scraping. Prefer this over the official UFC.com fighter profile endpoint (also on this provider) when you want the full card lineup rather than an individual fighter's career history. Best when you need ESPN's view of the card with fight ordering and scheduling times.

## Known failure modes

- ESPN API unavailable or rate-limited — endpoint may return an error or empty event list
- No upcoming UFC event scheduled — event array may be empty
- Fighter data incomplete if ESPN has not yet published full card details
- Network timeout at the Cloudflare Workers layer
- Stale data if ESPN's scoreboard has not yet updated results after a live event

## How this service works

ESPN UFC event card: the current or next UFC event with its fights in card order (fighter names, winner flag, record and fight status), from ESPN's public site JSON. Returns the card ESPN serves now; no date filter.

## Output

A JSON object containing the count of events returned, an array of UFC events each with the event name, state (pre/in/post), status (e.g. Scheduled), start time in UTC, total fight count, the source ESPN URL, the check timestamp, and an ordered array of fights — each fight listing the scheduled time/state and an array of two fighters with name, record, and winner boolean flag.
