+# UFC Data Extractor
+
+A web scraping project that extracts fight and fighter data from [ufcstats.com](http://ufcstats.com), transforms it into structured wide-format tables, and enriches it with historical performance statistics. 
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This tool performs the following:
+
+- Scrapes data from `ufcstats.com` including:
+  - Fighter profiles (name, height, reach, stance, etc.)
+  - Fight outcomes and statistics (strikes, takedowns, control time, etc.)
+  - Event information (event title, date, winner)
+- Transforms the raw data into a clean wide-format table:
+  - Each row represents **one fight**
+  - Contains data for **both fighters** in separate columns
+- Computes **cumulative performance metrics** for each fighter across fights to enable longitudinal analysis
+
+## Output Example
+
+Below is a simplified example of what the dataset looks like. Each row represents one fight and includes data for both fighters.
+
+| event_name                     | event_date | fighter1_name | fighter2_name   | fighter1_knockdown | fighter2_knockdown | fighter1_sig_strikes | fighter2_sig_strikes | fighter1_control_time | fighter2_control_time | event_winner   |
+|-------------------------------|------------|---------------|-----------------|---------------------|---------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|------------------------|------------------------|----------------|
+| UFC Fight Night: Benavidez vs. Figueiredo | 2020-02-29 | Aalon Cruz    | Spike Carlyle | 0                   | 0                   | 2                     | 20                    | 5                      | 7                      | Spike Carlyle  |
+
+**Note:**  
+- This is only a sample; the actual dataset contains over **80 features** per fighter including:
+  - Fighter stats: height, reach, weight, age, stance, striking/takedown accuracy & defense
+  - Fight stats: control time, knockdowns, strike breakdown (head/body/leg, distance/clinch/ground)
+  - Derived metrics: cumulative win %, strike absorption rate, etc.
+- The uploaded dataset includes only the first 200 rows. The full dataset and processing scripts are not shared to respect the intellectual property of the source website.
+
+The full schema includes both raw data and calculated performance metrics to support deep analysis or model training.

+## Sample Analysis
+
+![Fighter's Historical Performance Statistics](sample_fighter_historical_performance.jpg)
+
+> 💡 **Note:** All statistics below are calculated based on a fighter's **entire historical fight record** from the dataset. They represent cumulative performance trends across previous bouts.
+
+- **Significant Strikes Absorbed per Minute (SApM):**  
+  The average number of significant strikes a fighter absorbs **per minute**, based on all past fights.
+
+- **Average Takedowns Landed per 15 Minutes (TD Avg.):**  
+  The average number of takedowns a fighter lands **every 15 minutes**, aggregated from all their previous bouts.
+
+- **Significant Strikes Landed per Minute (SLpM):**  
+  The average number of significant strikes a fighter lands **per minute** over their full fight history.
+
+- **Average Submissions Landed per 15 Minutes (Sub. Avg.):**  
+  The average number of successful submissions attempted **per 15 minutes** in previous matches.
+
+- **Significant Striking Accuracy (Str. Acc.):**  
+  The percentage of significant strikes landed out of all attempted, across **all prior fights**.
+
+- **Takedown Accuracy (TD Acc.):**  
+  The success rate of takedown attempts based on a fighter's **historical data**.
+
+- **Takedown Defense (TD Def.):**  
+  The percentage of opponent takedowns a fighter **successfully defended** over their entire fight history.
+
+- **Significant Strike Defense (Str. Def.):**  
+  The percentage of opponents’ significant strike attempts that **did not land**, averaged over all previous fights.
