    Hello, I am a student at the univeristy of Helsinki and I have a Data science project.
    As a mma fan, I want to work on this topic. To achieve this project, i need to find data basis in csv format or accessible with python.
    Don’t you know if those informations are accesible somewhere ?
    Thank you very much

    Hello! I’m a student and I’m learning Data Science. I want to analyze your dataset for education goals.

This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.

Before asking where a specific fighter is ranked or why they aren't ranked:


- We update the rankings once per week, usually on Sunday or Monday.

- Fighters who have not fought in 450 days or more ARE NOT RANKED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

- Use the "Fighter Search" option in the upper-right of the page. The fighter may be ranked in a different division.

- Most of the divisions have multiple pages beyond this one. See the clickable ranges above and below the ranking table.

Furthermore, we do not maintain the "next fight" data. This is gathered from Sherdog. Any issues regarding this data should be forwarded to them.
