- In order to recommend fighters for the fans, it is crucial to gather the most
information possible about fighters and fights.
- Since there is no standalone database of all fighters and fights of the UFC,
I am using data that has been scraped from www.sherdog.com. Thanks to
geyges who posted that on reddit.
- Here is a sample of part of the fighter table.
