Road to UFC 3 Episode 6 arrived on Friday, continuing the path to the big show for all ten fighters featured. Or perhaps nine, in this case.
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 six, featured semifinal action in the featherweight and women’s strawweight divisions. In addition, a featured fight at welterweight (shifted to a catchweight) would see former Samandar Muradov return to the show for a second time, paired up with Jonathan Peirsma. At weigh-ins, Perisma came in three pounds heavy. That certainly won’t help his chances of signing on with the promotion.
