Road to UFC Season 2 is the 2023 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).[1]

Background

The event series features four divisions—flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight and lightweight—each for which eight fighters compete in a "win-and-advance" tournament format.[2] The tournament winner for each division is awarded a UFC contract. Each event in the series is to feature five bouts including one non-tournament bout.[3][4]

The opening quarterfinal round of the tournament is to be held across two days, May 27-28, 2023 at the UFC Performance Institute Shanghai, with two five-bout events for each day for a total of 10 bouts per day.[5]
