What Is ROAD TO UFC?
ROAD TO UFC is a tournament that features four men’s divisions – flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight and lightweight – with eight participants in each.
The semifinals take place in Singapore on August 27 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, with the finals being featured as part of a UFC Fight Night card later in the year. At that event, each of the four divisions’ winners will be awarded a UFC contract. First bout starts at 4pm SGT (4am ET / 1am PT).
The opening round of ROAD TO UFC Season 2 took place across two days, May 27 and 28, inside the Octagon at the UFC Performance Institute Shanghai.
