As part of an action-packed fight week preceding UFC FIGHT NIGHT SHANGHAI, the semifinals for ROAD TO UFC Season 4 will take place on Friday, August 22. Winners of the opening round will compete to see who will advance to the finals, where they will have the chance to be awarded a multi-fight contract in UFC.

ROAD TO UFC is a ground-breaking “win and advance” tournament that will take top MMA prospects from Asia Pacific 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 for promising talent.

To date, 17 ROAD TO UFC participants have been awarded UFC contracts: eleven tournament winners; three finalists; and three non-tournament bout winners.
