Road to UFC Shanghai 3

After a successful first season, the UFC is back with a second season of Road to UFC. The year-long tournament pits eight fighters from four different weight classes against each other with a UFC contract for the winner of each division.

All four quarterfinals cards take place this Saturday and Sunday on Asia primetime with each card featuring four tournament matchups across various divisions and a showcase bout highlighting emerging prospects looking to make a statement. Saturday’s two cards will highlight fighters from the Featherweight and Flyweight divisions, while Sunday’s bouts feature the Bantamweights and Lightweights.

Our first Sunday card sees UFC veteran Rong Zhu look to make a statement in the Lightweight bracket opposite Sung Chan Hong, while ONE FC vet Shuya Kamikubo looks to kick off the Bantamweight tourney with a bang. In our Welterweight showcase match, Chris Hofmann and Sang Hoon Yoo face off in a clash likely to end in a KO.
