Yes. Cito serves Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship data over REST at https://api.citoapi.com/api/v1/bkfc: events and fight cards, results, fighters, official rankings and champions, and round-by-round punch stats.

How far back does the BKFC data go?

To BKFC 1 in 2018. 175 events are on file, 1,761 finished bouts, and every one of those bouts has punch stats.

What punch stats does the BKFC API have?

For each fighter in each round: punches landed and thrown, split by target (head, body) and position (distance, clinch), plus knockdowns and accuracy. Career totals per fighter add per-minute rates and punches absorbed.

Does the BKFC API update on fight night?

Yes. During a card the API polls BKFC's results every 60 seconds; /bkfc/live lists the bouts in progress and /bkfc/live/stream pushes updates over Server-Sent Events.

Is the BKFC API free?

Yes, to start. A free key covers BKFC events, cards, results, fighters, rankings and champions with 500 requests a month and 10 a minute, no card needed. Round-by-round punch stats and fighter career stats are on Starter ($15 a month, BKFC as your one game) and every plan above it.

Can I use the BKFC API with Claude or Cursor?

Yes. The Cito MCP server includes combat_events, combat_card, combat_bout, combat_athlete, combat_h2h and combat_rankings; pass league bkfc and agents work from real bout and fighter IDs.

Is this an official BKFC product?

No. Cito is an independent data API and is not affiliated with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Official fighter photos carry BKFC's credit in the response.

Seamless Integration with our MCP Server
