```bash
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \

  -d '{"method":"ufc.com/get_fighter","input":{"fighter":"The Eagle"}}'
```

From an AI agent connected to the Fous MCP server: its `run` with the same method and input. To connect one, give it `set up https://fous.com/SKILL.md`.

## Ask your agent

- What's Islam Makhachev's current record and ranking?
- Pull up the fighter profile for 'The Notorious' on ufc.com — I want his win methods and striking accuracy.
- How tall is Alex Pereira and what's his reach? Also show his takedown defense stats.
- I need Zhang Weili's bio, division, and how many of her wins came by KO vs submission.
- Look up Sean O'Malley on UFC and give me his significant strikes landed per minute plus a photo link.
