The finals of three of the four Road to UFC Season 3 tournaments take place this weekend in Macau, as six hopefuls head into the Octagon hoping to earn a place on the UFC roster heading into 2025.

Over the first two seasons, the Asia-focused talent search series has produced a number of promising talents and served as the vehicle for carrying one former prospect back to the main roster, with Rinya Nakamura, HyunSung Park, and Rei Tsuruya being joined by the returning Rongzhu as intriguing names to follow in their respective divisions after claiming tournament victories.

While this season’s featherweight finale between Zhu Kangjie and Xie Bin has been delayed, the matchups in the three remaining weight classes offer fascinating matchups and competitors that have shown a great deal of promise in advancing to this point.
