Road To UFC: Singapore - Fighters, Match Ups, Dates, Timing in IST, Telecast and Live Streaming Information

Road to UFC is a ground-breaking "win and advance" tournament that gives top MMA prospects from Asia a pathway to a UFC contract.

Road to UFC

The first round of the Road to UFC, the most significant opportunity for Asia's top MMA prospects to make it to the world stage, is set to take place across two days this week at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore.

While the Road to UFC presents a chance for Asian MMA talents to showcase their skills, it also provides a great build up to the first ever UFC pay-per-view event in Southeast Asia - UFC 275: Teixeira vs Prochazka, set for Sunday (June 12).

Road to UFC is a ground-breaking "win and advance" tournament that gives top MMA prospects from Asia a pathway to a UFC contract. Eight mixed martial arts athletes will compete in each of four men's weight classes: flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight and lightweight.

The opening round is divided into four episodes, each of which includes four tournament bouts and one additional non-tournament bout. These non-tournament bouts are included for promising prospects whose divisions might not have been included in Road to UFC. The tournament bouts scheduled for this week will all be quarterfinals.

One of the two Indian MMA athletes is also set to feature during the opening round as lightweight Pawan Maan Singh will feature in the tournament, taking on Indonesia's Jeka Saragih.

Fellow lightweight Anshul Jubli was set to take on Japan's Sho Patrick Usami, but the bout was cancelled and the Indian progressed to the semifinals.

Apart from the two Indian MMA athletes, the Road to UFC will also feature 30 more participants from China, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea and Philippines. Here is a look at the list of Participants:
