What is FighterGuesser?
FighterGuesser is a free daily guessing game for MMA fans. Every day at midnight UTC, a new mystery fighter is selected, and your challenge is to guess who it is based on clues about their physical attributes, fight record, and career statistics.
Think of it like Wordle, but for MMA fighters! You get up to 6 guesses, and after each attempt, you'll receive hints telling you whether you're getting warmer or need to adjust your strategy.
Our Mission
We created FighterGuesser to bring MMA fans together through a fun, daily challenge that tests your knowledge of fighters. Whether you're a casual fan or a die-hard follower, our game offers:
- A fresh challenge every single day
- Three game modes: Male, Female, and Mixed divisions
- No accounts or registration required
- Completely free to play
- Bilingual support (English and French)
- about.mission.item6
How the Game Works
Each day, our algorithm selects a mystery fighter from the roster using a smart selection system that ensures:
- Fighters don't repeat too frequently (30-day cooldown)
- Variety across different weight classes
- Balanced selection from active roster fighters
When you make a guess, you'll receive instant feedback on:
- Age, Height, Reach: Physical attributes
- Wins, losses: Career stats
- Weight class, nationality, nickname: Fighter details
Green squares mean you got it right, orange squares mean you're close, while arrows and red squares guide you toward the correct answer. For more details, check out our How to Play guide. How to Play.

About the Creator
The idea for FighterGuesser came from a real MMA community experience. During a Fight Minds fan event at UFC 322, I met around 20 passionate MMA fans and realized how much we all loved testing our knowledge about fighters. That experience inspired me to create this daily challenge—a way for fans worldwide to come together and compete in a fun, accessible format.
Built by a web developer and MMA enthusiast, FighterGuesser combines the addictive daily challenge format of games like Wordle with the depth of MMA fighter statistics. What started as a project for a small community has grown into a platform for fans everywhere.
We're continuously improving the game based on player feedback and roster updates. If you have suggestions or encounter any issues, feel free to reach out at contact@fighterguesser.com.

- Historical mode to play past daily challenges

- Additional game modes (other MMA leagues like Bellator, ONE Championship)
