Road to UFC 4 Full Results

Staff — Fri, 10 Jun 2022 07:00:42 +0000

The quarterfinal round of the Road to UFC tournament in Singapore came to a close on Friday, with Road to UFC 4 the final of four mini-cards at the Singapore Indoor Stadium this week.

Inside the very same venue that would play host to UFC 275 on Saturday, a group of prospects and UFC hopefuls were in action, competing across four weight classes — flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight, and lightweight — with the goal of securing a UFC deal.

The final installment of the quarterfinal round offered four tournament bouts, each in a different weight class, plus a non-tournament welterweight match-up featuring John Adajar and Han Seul Kim.

UFC fans would no doubt recognize one name on the Road to UFC 4 card, as China’s Wuliji Buren returned, looking for another crack at the big show. Buren competed for the promotion from 2017 to 2019, going 0-3 through three fights inside the octagon. Since exiting the company, “The Beastmaster” had posted a 4-1 record. The lone loss in that span had come against fellow Road to UFC tournament fighter Keremuaili Maimaitituohati.

Full results from the Road to UFC 4 card can be found below. The event kicks off at 5AM ET, streaming live on UFC Fight Pass.

Wuliji Buren

Pros

Cons

Prediction: I’m not doing a pros and cons for Buren since he’s not a prospect and has fought in the UFC already. He wasn’t UFC level then so I’m not sure why he’s getting another chance. He’s 4-1 since leaving the UFC, with the loss coming to another Road to UFC fighter, Keremuaili Maimaitituoheti.

With Shohei, I’m up and down with him. He’s a better grappler but has been in kickboxing fights to round out his craft. Buren is a submission grappler like Shohei so the winner could be determined by who has the better stand-up. It’s a fight Buren can win as Shohei himself isn’t UFC level either. I am picking Shohei though based on being the younger guy and having more momentum. Not confident at all though.
