Road to UFC Season 3

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 introduces four distinct weight divisions—flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight, and, notably, women's strawweight—each comprising eight competitors engaged in a "win-and-advance" tournament structure, reminiscent of a single-elimination format. The ultimate victor of each division secures a coveted UFC contract. Each event within the series is slated to showcase five bouts, one of which will be a non-tournament matchup.

The inaugural quarterfinal stage of the tournament is set to unfold over a span of two days, from May 18 to 19, 2024, at the prestigious UFC Performance Institute Shanghai. Across these two days, enthusiasts can anticipate a total of ten engaging bouts per day, comprising two separate five-bout events.

Flyweight
*Toki Matsui missed weight (132 lbs), therefore the bout was cancelled and Panales proceeded to the semi-finals

Women's Strawweight
* Huang Feier missed weight (116.7 lbs), therefore the bout was canceled and Motono proceeded to semi-final
