Example prompt: Pull up Islam Makhachev's full UFC profile — I want his record, recent fights, takedown stats, and what division he's currently ranked in.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need detailed, structured UFC fighter data sourced directly from UFC.com, including both biographical information and in-depth career statistics. It is the best option when you need a single comprehensive payload covering record, stats, bio, and recent fights together rather than querying multiple sports APIs separately. Ideal for fight research, sports journalism, fantasy MMA, or betting analysis workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Fighter not found on UFC.com — returns error if name or slug doesn't match any athlete
- Misspelled or ambiguous fighter name — may return wrong fighter or no result
- Fighter slug format incorrect — must match UFC.com URL slug format (e.g. islam-makhachev)
- UFC.com page structure changes may cause scraping failures
- Rate limiting or upstream UFC.com unavailability may cause timeouts

## How this service works

UFC fighter career profile from the official UFC.com athlete page: name, division, ranking/status tags, W-L-D record, win streak, significant strikes and takedowns landed/attempted, per-minute and per-15-minute averages, defense percentages, strikes by position and target, wins by method, bio (age, height, reach, camp, debut) and the most recent bouts with round, time and method. Give the fighter's name or UFC.com slug.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the fighter's full name, nickname, division, ranking tags, W-L-D record, bio (age, height, reach, weight, leg reach, training camp, debut, fighting style, birthplace), comprehensive striking and takedown statistics (landed/attempted, per-minute averages, defense percentages, strikes by position and target), win breakdown by method (KO/TKO, SUB, DEC), recent fight history (opponent, date, round, time, method, result), and a link to the official UFC.com profile.
