Tapology Events, Fighters and Promotions Across Combat Sports
A Tapology scraper works on the combat sports database that fighters, managers and promoters use alongside the fans. Tapology calls itself a free resource for MMA, boxing and other combat sports: MMA remains its specialty, and boxing, kickboxing, grappling and Muay Thai now run through the same FightCenter. Results are entered by Tapology's own staff, while fighters, gyms and promoters can claim their pages to update bios and fight cards.
Everything hangs off numeric IDs in the address: /fightcenter/fighters/{id}-{name}, /fightcenter/events/{id}-{event}, /fightcenter/bouts/{id}-{event}-{fighters}, /fightcenter/promotions/1-ultimate-fighting-championship-ufc and /gyms/1-tristar-gym. A bout ID ties two fighter IDs to an event ID, and the event to a promotion ID, so fight cards, records and rankings join without matching names.
The FightCenter filters Tapology upcoming events and results by promotion tier (UFC, Stream/TV, Major Org, Regional), by sport (MMA, Boxing, Kickboxing, Grappling, Muay Thai) and by region: US states and groupings such as New England or Kansas and Missouri, Canadian provinces, Brazil North to Brazil Southeast, the Caucasus and Europe Nordic. That grid, down to amateur bouts on local cards, is where Tapology regional MMA coverage goes further than a pure MMA archive. To scrape Tapology well you pick the slice first: a promotion, a sport, a region or a list of fighter IDs.
