Road to UFC 3 Episode 5 arrived on Friday, continuing the path to the big show for the ten fighters featured.
For three seasons now, the Road to UFC tournament has looked to produce some top talent for the promotion, focusing on rising Asian prospects. Essentially, the series serves as Asia’s answer to Dana White’s Contender Series, and The Ultimate Fighter, sort of a hybrid of both. Tournament format, like TUF, but focused on fighting, with no being cooped up in the TUF house.
Friday night’s Road to UFC installment, episode five, featured semifinal action in the flyweight and bantamweight divisions. In addition, a featured fight would see former Invicta FC champ Danni McCormack looking to win her way into the UFC opposite Yan Qihui.
