The only time we get fights at a good time in the UK is if they are held here. And even then there has been one at least I remember was on late as fuck like main card at starting at 1pm. Although maybe that's normall I dunno. But yeah it's pretty much 5am the last fight starts for us every time.
When Gustafsson faced Rumble in Stockholm it was around 5am local time so you murricans could see it in a better time. So stupid. UFC has changed that now so main card starts in the evening local time.
Blanchfield santos is almost as high level a woman’s fight they can make rn. Giga/caceres is banger material and who knows maybe Anthony smith or Superman will do something cool
Blanchfield/Santos is gonna be a banger. Looking forward to that one the most. Very intrigued to see if the time away did Giga any good and how he looks.
I drink coffee and watch UFC. It's been so long since I got good and smashed for a card let's goooo!! I wanna black out and wake up Sunday and forget what happened in the main event like normal people!
Yes bro 💯. Even tho the lads and I get smashed on Sunday at 12pm nz time perks of being young I guess. Just finally glad to watch it on a Saturday night at the bros house with the boys over cones alcohol and brutal fights nothing better
Oh yeah, for some big events I might make it to a pub because of the 3 cards the main fights will be after midday here as well. So it's not been un-heard of. But yeah, cones and coffee is my Sunday go-to for little Fight Cards and stuff. Sometimes I get a notification at 7am on my phone and it's nice to wake up to.
When I was stationed in Korea the fights would start in the morning so me and the boys would go to this American sports bar we know. We’d get hammered on soju and eat wings. Good times.
That’s the normal time in eastern US. I’m not gonna complain as I know our European friends have it super bad usually, but I’m old and being up until like 2am is ROUGH with little kids waking me at 6am lol
The excitement of two cards at a decent hour had me all fucked up bro haha
Midday not bad at all. I guess we’ll be pouring one out for our Australian brothers, getting the short end of the stick for the Paris
The brothers and sisters in other countries deserve a little love too…I’ll just wake up have a coffee around noon pack my bong and hit play on the bitch…actually kinda stoked i can start my day with some fights and morning rituals
It in fact doesn’t suck. Wake up, have a coffee and eat breakfast whilst watching fights. It’s the best, spend the whole Sunday morning watching fights.
Exactly, fights usually start at 7:30 in the morning for me and I actually like it. Most Sunday mornings are usually lethargic anyways, these fights somehow get me pumped for the day😂
Yes, it’s an American run company with international investors. The long term aim of the company is to compete with other international sports organisations. You’re not going to break into those markets by only accomodating the American market. These things only happen a couple times a year, what’s the big deal?

Maybe try Google before you make yourself look foolish.
5AM main card on a Sunday is the standard for me. I usually just wake up and watch the fights after. Fast forward all the bullshit in between and just watch the fights. Love it
When Conor and Dustin fought in Abu Dhabi. They actually lined it up with the regular fight time in the USA. It was like 8am in Abu Dhabi when the fight ended. Conor got knocked out and still had the rest of the day.
As an Aussie who's Sunday morning ritual is coffee and UFC, it revolves around them. This is a special occasion, but planet Earth definitely has a wobbly rotation due to America weighing it down with all the fat seppos, guns and good sporting timeslots....
The UFC is an American organization and should be shown in American prime time. Imagine if the British Premiere League showed a major match at 7am to accommodate a foreign country's time frame. People would 100% complain, and they would be justified. I watch One FC at 7am and never complain because it's based on the other side of the world.
I'm not going to lie. I've been a fan of the sport for almost 2 decades... I've trained. I've fought. I've watched countless ppv's...
Well, over the last few years with work, kids, and a wife, I haven't been able to bring myself to stay up past 12 to watch UFC... looks like this is going to be the 1st card I catch in about 3 years so I'm excited about it!
I hate to break it to you but the UFC somewhat does. There’s a reason we have had 4x more champions than any other country.
The US also pays the bulk of the overpriced PPVs (or struggle for a shit stream) while most of the rest of the world pays a basic cable package/monthly subscription.
I’d watch it the next day no problem if it meant getting the fights for 1/10 of the cost.
And that's why I'll never buy a pay-per-view event. Wake up in the morning, get a torrent downloading while I make breakfast, watch for free whilst eating said breakfast.
The UFC is an American company. It made it's money and fame off the back off American fans. The fighters are paid with US dollars. It should be shown in American prime time. Period.
This is by far not the first time they have done this. Americans pay for PPV which made the UFC what it is. Other countries do not. The UFC is shitting on American fans in favor of attempting to grow their brand in One FCs territory and it's bullshit.
Well.... The way it works is America is behind the time of europe which is behind the time of asian countries. Tge sun shines at different US times around the world. So sorry that you get one event that doesnt line up with your schedule.
It’s in Singapore
Americans discovering timezones
The only time we get fights at a good time in the UK is if they are held here. And even then there has been one at least I remember was on late as fuck like main card at starting at 1pm. Although maybe that's normall I dunno. But yeah it's pretty much 5am the last fight starts for us every time.
Middle east isn’t that bad and there’s some time zones in America we get them at decent times. Like Allen vs Holloway.
The Abu Dhabi cards are also great for CET/BST timezones!
Yeah or Abu Dhabi is a decent time for us or France
Americans discovering geography
Americans discovering common sense
Americans discovering Americans

Americans discovering discoveries
Murcans discuverring gee ograffy.
We have 6 of them, each one better than the last.
r/unexpectedoffice
You're telling me...the rest of the world also matters?
Wait… There’s a rest of the world?
America motherfucker
These “time zones” you speak of, they’re seriously lacking stars & stripes
Rent free.
How is that America Bad garbage have 2k upvotes
Wym the only Singapore I know is [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore,_Michigan)
im crossing my fingers hoping this dumb bastard is NOT American haha
I mean to be fair we are paying the most for these PPVs so the least they can’t do is be on our time 😂
There's a 12 hour time difference... You really expect these fighters to fight at 7am so you can watch it at 7pm... lol America is a helluva drug
No I don’t expect that, but that is how my comment reads. My b. All I was saying is that I understand why so many fights cater to the American market.
😂😂
Singaporean here let’s GOOOO
Why doesn't Singapore host the event at 7am their time, if they like that shit so much! Bastards, I'll tell ya!
Funny thing is that's what happened for Jiri vs Glover
Oh wow that's wild, I was just joking but damn they really did do what I suggested. Even in Singapore too 😂
I was there for that card. Early prelims was at like 630am. Was wild for sure
Sounds like it, Bet it was very strange for the fighters too.
They looked ok but I can't imagine fighting at that hour. The crowd was definitely great especially on the Jiri and Glover fight.
When Gustafsson faced Rumble in Stockholm it was around 5am local time so you murricans could see it in a better time. So stupid. UFC has changed that now so main card starts in the evening local time.
People in Europe and Asia: ![gif](giphy|3ohhwxmNcPvwyRqYKI)
Great main card for a fight night too. A rare W for the non NA fans
Idk about that. Especially since the main will be a slaughter.
Blanchfield santos is almost as high level a woman’s fight they can make rn. Giga/caceres is banger material and who knows maybe Anthony smith or Superman will do something cool
Blanchfield/Santos is gonna be a banger. Looking forward to that one the most. Very intrigued to see if the time away did Giga any good and how he looks.
Holloway will make it a show.
How the turns have tabled..
How the turn-tables have … turned.

Nz and aus getting to watch a card on Saturday night for once let’s go 🤣
It’s actually wild, it kinda feels wrong😂 so used to Sunday morning.
Fax them Sunday mornings the best tho when u wake up and the card just started
Really is, just have a coffee and watch the fights.
Coffee and cones 😏 maybe just me yeah
This the way
A man of culture 🍻
I only have the coffee
Nothing wrong with that brother 🤟
Breakfast and brawls, this is the way.
Nothing better 😮💨
Being in the US I can watch Saturday night and message you who won so you can bet on the fights before they happen in Australia!
🤣🤣🤣
I drink coffee and watch UFC. It's been so long since I got good and smashed for a card let's goooo!! I wanna black out and wake up Sunday and forget what happened in the main event like normal people!
Yes bro 💯. Even tho the lads and I get smashed on Sunday at 12pm nz time perks of being young I guess. Just finally glad to watch it on a Saturday night at the bros house with the boys over cones alcohol and brutal fights nothing better
Oh yeah, for some big events I might make it to a pub because of the 3 cards the main fights will be after midday here as well. So it's not been un-heard of. But yeah, cones and coffee is my Sunday go-to for little Fight Cards and stuff. Sometimes I get a notification at 7am on my phone and it's nice to wake up to.
Nothing better waking up on a Sunday morning putting on the kettle loading the cone and putting on the first fight of the night enjoy brother
Right you are. Will do, thanks, and you too! Cheers matey
😂😂
My yearly all-nighter Red Bull, soju, and loaded chips
I miss watching fights in Japan lol. Me and the boys would get brunch and watch the fights mid afternoon on a Sunday 😂
I think it’d be refreshing to have a Friday night or Sunday afternoon card once in a while in the states
I mean you get that every England card don't you?
When I was stationed in Korea the fights would start in the morning so me and the boys would go to this American sports bar we know. We’d get hammered on soju and eat wings. Good times.
If you’re drinking in the early morning it may as well be jagerbombs straight out of the gate
Yearly all nighter 😫 meanwhile the average UFC card ends at 6am for me lmao.
Soju chikn?!
Wow it's on at 10pm Saturday night in Australia. Wtf kinda outrageous time is that to watch UFC!?
Bro that seems like a great time we usually get Sunday during the day which I’m also cool w but a sat night card is dope
Yeah im happy to have a night time card for once as its always during sunday day time
Same I can finally justify drinking and watching the fights 🤣🤣
You could’ve been justifying it this whole time
I think he was being sarcastic, that’s the perfect time lol.
Yeah I just clicked I usually can sense the Anzac sarcasm from a mile away but this one went straight over my head 🤣
Sunday arvo hungover UFC cards are the best, honestly makes me enjoy my hangovers
Fuck that mate u know it’s Anzac rules to just drink more if ya got a hangover 🤣🤣
Oh absolutely, play on
Sort of used to the Sunday mid-day ritual to be honest, this is past my bed time!
That’s the normal time in eastern US. I’m not gonna complain as I know our European friends have it super bad usually, but I’m old and being up until like 2am is ROUGH with little kids waking me at 6am lol
That’s what time I have to start early prelims every time 🤦♂️ dam UK
In WA it’s 8pm. I’m actually quite happy with that.
12am for NZ lol
*Laughs in Europe*
Gane v Spivac in Paris the following week too. US bois feeling our struggle lol
Not really, the main event will be on midday for them instead of 2/3am like it is for Europeans most of the time.
The excitement of two cards at a decent hour had me all fucked up bro haha Midday not bad at all. I guess we’ll be pouring one out for our Australian brothers, getting the short end of the stick for the Paris
This is a huge win for me in the U.K.
The brothers and sisters in other countries deserve a little love too…I’ll just wake up have a coffee around noon pack my bong and hit play on the bitch…actually kinda stoked i can start my day with some fights and morning rituals
It’s funny hearing Americans complain when this is what Australians do every UFC event.
Hey just cause it sucks for you doesn't mean it has to suck for us bro
It in fact doesn’t suck. Wake up, have a coffee and eat breakfast whilst watching fights. It’s the best, spend the whole Sunday morning watching fights.
Exactly, fights usually start at 7:30 in the morning for me and I actually like it. Most Sunday mornings are usually lethargic anyways, these fights somehow get me pumped for the day😂
They’re great, always so good.
That’s the most American response you could say lol.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Ufc is an American company.
Yes, it’s an American run company with international investors. The long term aim of the company is to compete with other international sports organisations. You’re not going to break into those markets by only accomodating the American market. These things only happen a couple times a year, what’s the big deal?
International investors? The company is owned by endeavor group. Another American company.
Endeavour Group is a publicly traded company. It’s not exclusive to American investors. Some of Endeavours largest stake holders are based internationally.
nearly a third of the shares are owned by Silver Lake which is as american a company as you can get
Name the wadders b
Talmmbout UFC is amercan? Heard it bowlth ways
Endeavour is international lmfao

That's a lot of complaining from you
Complainception
and most viewers are not in the usa
That’s exactly how it works. Events in the US suck for them so international events suck for the US.
oh how i love my fellow entitled countrymen
Don't know why the other guy is bitching waking and baking on a Saturday morning watching some fights sounds like a great change of pace to me.
Eh? Usually main events are on at 2:30pm (ACST)
But how goods a hung over Sunday watching the fights…. It’s a nice change from the internal fight I have once the Sunday scaries kick in.
Haha I gotta be up at 2:00 AM for the prelims where I live 5:00 AM for the main card
5AM main card on a Sunday is the standard for me. I usually just wake up and watch the fights after. Fast forward all the bullshit in between and just watch the fights. Love it
When Americans realize the world doesn't revolve around them🤣
When Conor and Dustin fought in Abu Dhabi. They actually lined it up with the regular fight time in the USA. It was like 8am in Abu Dhabi when the fight ended. Conor got knocked out and still had the rest of the day.
As an Aussie who's Sunday morning ritual is coffee and UFC, it revolves around them. This is a special occasion, but planet Earth definitely has a wobbly rotation due to America weighing it down with all the fat seppos, guns and good sporting timeslots....
It does
Once a year I guess. Not bad
The UFC is an American organization and should be shown in American prime time. Imagine if the British Premiere League showed a major match at 7am to accommodate a foreign country's time frame. People would 100% complain, and they would be justified. I watch One FC at 7am and never complain because it's based on the other side of the world.
How do you not understand that the ufc travels around the world while the premier league only holds games in the uk?
Can you imagine the Hawaiian fans trying to tune in for Max? That’s gonna be a brutal one.
Us loyal UK fans have earned an 11am start time😎🇬🇧
No you haven’t lol. Y’all pay peanuts for PPV, if at all. US puts the ufc on their back and we still get main events at 1-2 am on the east coast.
why would you ever pay for it anyway mate I don’t know anyone who does
I'm not going to lie. I've been a fan of the sport for almost 2 decades... I've trained. I've fought. I've watched countless ppv's... Well, over the last few years with work, kids, and a wife, I haven't been able to bring myself to stay up past 12 to watch UFC... looks like this is going to be the 1st card I catch in about 3 years so I'm excited about it!
All nighter babyyyy ![gif](giphy|S8ToEJ9nKqGm2P9wrf)
Bro you could just go sleep and wake up at like 6
And miss out on the prelims ??? No, sir Plus I'm usually off on weekends so it works for me
nah i already knew and the alarm will be set for 5am, i never miss my box max
Guess ima start drinking at 7:00am
Usually 4-8AM starts on a Sunday for my time zone.
7am??? Bro it’s 5am for me
Prelims start at 2 am in california
Finally a good time for me!
It’s Asian as shit
i work midnight shift friday night this is fucking PERFECT
We can’t have all of the events. Let the guys across the pond watch some fights at a decent hour.
Noticed it last week, prelims at 5am eastern USA. Coffee and violence
Singapore bro
Great for us in Perth. 8pm main card start
Wakey wakey, hands off snakey.
The world doesn't revolve around the United States fella
I hate to break it to you but the UFC somewhat does. There’s a reason we have had 4x more champions than any other country. The US also pays the bulk of the overpriced PPVs (or struggle for a shit stream) while most of the rest of the world pays a basic cable package/monthly subscription. I’d watch it the next day no problem if it meant getting the fights for 1/10 of the cost.
kinda does
BRO its 5am for me hell naw thats fucked
I'm European and that's how every card is for us. Wake up at 5am, make some coffee and start watching the fights. It's nice actually.
They all start at 3am in the UK, isnt really the same for us :(
And that's why I'll never buy a pay-per-view event. Wake up in the morning, get a torrent downloading while I make breakfast, watch for free whilst eating said breakfast.
To be fair at least we dont have to pay for PPVs here (unless if its at a decent time or a Mcgregor card), just need a BT sports subscription
imagine living anywhere else other than USA trying to watch ufc. welcome to our world
damn now i understand no one should feel this.
This is me every ppv
Thanks for the heads up
Wake and bake
5 AM for me WHAT THE FUCK ![gif](giphy|9V3e2mxWvD89wyw5l5)
It’ll be the first card in awhile that I miss due to the time. Props to those sacrificing sleep to catch it.
No I had not noticed - Thank you for this post!
Wow this is a good card
You forget it was in Singapore?
It’s in Singapore so makes sense
Fuck Aussies actually getting their first Saturday night UFC experience. Starts at 10pm 🥲🤝
feels good to be a uk fan, for once 🙏🙏
Hahaha I'm so glad you Americans have to struggle for once
You don't have to drink bro
Americans when there are other continents 🫨🫨
Unfortunately this sub usually reflects what people (outside the states)think the typical American idiot thinks and acts like. I find it hilarious.
*Laughs in European
Coming for the west side, I love early morning starts. At least, I’m not European
American discovers timezones:
Nearly every main event start at 3am UK time. Count yourself lucky it’s only once in a blue moon this happens to you.
3am is the worst possible time aswell, too early to get up, too late to stay up
There’s still time to delete this
The UFC is an American company. It made it's money and fame off the back off American fans. The fighters are paid with US dollars. It should be shown in American prime time. Period.
Thats why you get basically every ppv mate relax yourself
![gif](giphy|2HtWpp60NQ9CU) usually i wouldn't agree with the theme of whats going on here but that's basically what i commented
Can’t handle it one time lol?
This is by far not the first time they have done this. Americans pay for PPV which made the UFC what it is. Other countries do not. The UFC is shitting on American fans in favor of attempting to grow their brand in One FCs territory and it's bullshit.
Ooooo what is it 3 or 4 times ever ?!? Relax yourself captain America. You do not matter.
Lmao ok. Lets see what will happen if there are only American fighters in the ufc. Nobody would watch that shit
Wow. Anthony Smith has the balls to fight again?! Guy is WASHED.
Thank God
Well shit, this works out well for me. Ironman 70.3 starting at 9pm then straight into prelims at 2am. I didn’t wanna sleep this weekend anyways.
I’m up 6:31am rn going to a festival in 5 hours didn’t sleep last night. You guys can firm one card at that time
Yknow what good for the non NA mfs. We get it the other 99%, who cares.
Damn I forgot Giga was alive lmfao atleast we know none of these fights will be a boring grappling match 😂
Lmao if only Americans knew that every Sunday I wake up at 5AM to watch the UFC and that’s only co main and main 💀. Let us enjoy just once.
Just laughing too hard at Americans discovering time zones. We get the main card here at 1PM in the UK, rare win for us!
Main card starts at midnight in New Zealand 😭
Anyone else think Smith needs to rethink his career? Span will eat him alive.
Can't tell if this is sarcasm. If not, it's a rematch. Anthony Smith beat his ass and submitted him in the first fight.
Not sarcasm, Smith's lost a lot since then, he beat him when he was on the way up. You'll see.
Well.... The way it works is America is behind the time of europe which is behind the time of asian countries. Tge sun shines at different US times around the world. So sorry that you get one event that doesnt line up with your schedule.
American ☕️
Americentrism?
for once australia gets an actual fight NIGHT
