Road to UFC is a recurring mixed martial arts (MMA) event series in which top Asian MMA prospects compete to win contracts with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
[2][3][4] The opening quarterfinal round is typically held hosting four events over a two-day span, with two episodes for each day.
Each season culminates with the tournament finals, which take place during preliminary card of a UFC Fight Night event.
The tournament winner for each division is awarded a UFC contract.
[2] Despite the reuse of the "Road to UFC" brand, similar Asian MMA focus, and season/episode nomenclature, the UFC has not characterized the newer event series as inclusive of the earlier 2015 reality competition, and has described the 2022 tournament cycle as the "inaugural tournament," referring to it as "Season 1".
