Is there a PRIDE API?

Yes. Cito serves the PRIDE Fighting Championships archive over REST at https://api.citoapi.com/api/v1/pride: 66 cards, 1997 to 2007, results for every bout, official round-by-round stats (all 567 bouts), fighters and head-to-head, in the same shape as the UFC API.

What does the PRIDE API cover?

66 PRIDE Fighting Championships cards from PRIDE 1 (October 1997) to PRIDE 34 (April 2007), with Bushido and the Grand Prix shows: 567 bouts with winner, method, round and time and official round-by-round stats, plus 287 fighters with fight history, career stats and head-to-head. Some cards hold only their televised bouts.

Do PRIDE fighters have the same ID as on the UFC API?

Yes, when they have a UFC record: they keep their /ufc/fighters/{slug} slug on /pride, and ufcFighterSlug marks it on every fighter object.

Can I get a fighter's whole career across promotions?

Their archive career, yes. /mma/fighters/{slug} adds recordByPromotion: the record in PRIDE, Strikeforce, WEC, Bellator and the other archives in one call. For UFC fights, the UFC career endpoint covers the rest.

Which plan includes PRIDE?

Every UFC plan, with no extra game to add: a free key or a UFC Starter key reads it. Fighters, profiles, fight histories and bout results work on every plan. Like /ufc, cards, bout lists and stats follow the plan's history window (30 days on Free, 90 on Starter), and every PRIDE card is from 1997 to 2007, so the full archive with official round-by-round stats is on Pro.

Does the PRIDE API have live data or rankings?

No. It is a closed archive of 1997 to 2007 cards: no live data, rankings or upcoming cards. /pride/events/upcoming always returns an empty list with a note.

Can I use the PRIDE API with Claude or Cursor?

The next Cito MCP release adds league pride to combat_events, combat_card, combat_bout, combat_athlete and combat_h2h. Until it ships, call the REST endpoints with your key.

Is this an official PRIDE product?

No. Cito is an independent data API and is not affiliated with PRIDE Fighting Championships or its rights holders.

Whole archive career

/mma/fighters/{slug} adds the record in every archive promotion, PRIDE included.

How are PRIDE rounds different?

PRIDE fights ran a 10-minute first round, then 5-minute rounds, and early PRIDE fights ran under other rules: Kazushi Sakuraba vs Royce Gracie (pride-1829) went six rounds. The API keeps every round as fought, with its own row per corner, so divide by round length before comparing PRIDE rounds with UFC or Strikeforce rounds.

GET /api/v1/pride/bouts/pride-1829/rounds: 12 rows, one per corner per round.
pride-1829	Sakuraba sig. strikes	Gracie sig. strikes	Sakuraba takedowns
Round 1	3 of 5	19 of 22	1 of 1
Round 2	10 of 12	8 of 17	0 of 0
Round 3	14 of 31	14 of 51	0 of 1
Round 4	6 of 22	12 of 43	2 of 2
Round 5	8 of 16	1 of 3	1 of 1
Round 6	20 of 61 (1 knockdown)	6 of 29	1 of 1

Are PRIDE stats in the same format as UFC stats?

Yes. A PRIDE round row has the same fields and formats as a /ufc round row, so a model or stat page built on UFC rounds reads PRIDE rounds without a new parser. All 567 bouts with official round stats; hasStats on each event and bout says which.

Field	Format
significantStrikes / totalStrikes / takedowns	"landed of attempted", e.g. "13 of 18"
head / body / leg	Significant strikes by target, same format
distance / clinch / ground	Significant strikes by position, same format
knockdowns / submissionAttempts / reversals	Counts
controlTime	"m:ss", e.g. "1:42", or null when not recorded

What is the first PRIDE endpoint to call?

List the cards that carry stats with /pride/events?hasStats=true, open one with /pride/events/{slug} (for example pride-34), then pull any bout's rounds with /pride/bouts/{boutId}/rounds.
