Road To UFC Season 3 Episode 3 Results and Winners

“Road to UFC Season 3” is the 2024 edition of the mixed martial arts (MMA) event series where top Asian MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) prospects vie for the contracts with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). This season continues the tradition of showcasing emerging talent from all across Asia, providing fighters with the opportunity to compete on a global stage and secure a place in the prestigious UFC roster.

The event series features four distinct weight divisions—flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight, and women’s strawweight. Each division includes eight competitors who participate in a “win-and-advance” tournament, similar to a single-elimination format. The winner of each division earns a prestigious UFC contract for themselves. 

Every event in the series is set to include five bouts, with one designated as a non-tournament matchup. This structure aims to highlight top Asian MMA prospects and provide them with the opportunity to compete on an international stage and get an UFC contract.
