While Dana White's Contender Series 2024 is holding our attention, another UFC product flying under the radar: Road to UFC Season 3.

Possibly the most under-marketed fighting product in the UFC brand, Road to UFC acts as the UFC's Asian talent funnel, much like ONE Championship's Friday Fights if it were just MMA.

Road to UFC operates on a tournament format like The Ultimate Fighter, minus the showbiz. Fighters in four divisions, Flyweight, Bantamweight, Featherweight, and Women's Strawweight, compete in eight-person brackets for their shot at the UFC. The fights take place in three rounds: Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Finals (the finals take place as part of a regular UFC Fight Night).
