Road to UFC Season 3 is the 2024 cycle of Road to UFC, a mixed martial arts (MMA) event series in which top Asian MMA prospects compete to win contracts with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
Background
The event series features four divisions—flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight, and, notably, women's strawweight (replacing lightweight)—each for which eight fighters compete in a "win-and-advance" tournament format. The tournament winner of each division is awarded a UFC contract. Each event within the series contains five bouts, one of which is a non-tournament match-up.
The inaugural quarterfinal stage of the tournament took place over two days, May 18-19, 2024, at the UFC Performance Institute Shanghai, with two five-bout events for each day for a total of 10 bouts per day. The semifinals were held at the UFC Apex facility on August 23, 2024. The finals are scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Yan vs. Figueiredo on November 23, 2024.
