The tournament’s locations and venues will be made public before each round, which spectators will see live. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the finals will most probably take place as headliner bouts on a UFC Fight Night Asia event, and the promotion will give UFC contracts to the victors of each of the four divisions.
Interested athletes can submit their profiles and fight videos to RoadtoUFC@ufc.com by March 13. Athletes from China, Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and India participated in Season 1; competitors from an even more comprehensive range of nations are anticipated to participate in Season 2.
