How To Watch Road To UFC Season 3

What Is ROAD TO UFC?

ROAD TO UFC is a ground-breaking “win and advance” tournament that will take top MMA prospects from Asia and give them a pathway to a UFC contract. The format features 32 mixed martial arts athletes competing in each of four weight classes. Additionally, non-tournament bouts will be included to provide more opportunities.

The opening round of ROAD TO UFC Season 3 takes place across two days, May 18 and 19, inside the Octagon at the UFC Performance Institute Shanghai. Episode 1 airs at 6am ET/3am PT on May 18, and episode 2 airs at 8am ET/5am PT on May 19.

Each episode of ROAD TO UFC will air in Asia primetime GMT +8, so audiences across Asia can get to know the athletes via in-event features and competitions on the following UFC broadcast partners:

How ROAD TO UFC Works:

• Four divisions: flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight and women's strawweight
• 8-person brackets for each division
   
• Round 1 (quarterfinals)
  • Four fights in each bracket (plus one non-tournament fight, making five fights total per fight card); winners move on to semifinals 
     
• Round 2 (semifinals)
  • Two fights in each bracket; winners move on to finals 
     
• Round 3 (finals)
  • One fight in each bracket taking place on the preliminary card of a UFC Fight Night later this year. Winners will earn a UFC contract.
