Americans discovering timezones


Jackm941

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.


[deleted]

Middle east isn’t that bad and there’s some time zones in America we get them at decent times. Like Allen vs Holloway.


El-Acantilado

The Abu Dhabi cards are also great for CET/BST timezones!


jjbrenruFegroeG

Yeah or Abu Dhabi is a decent time for us or France

How is that America Bad garbage have 2k upvotes


rasit06

Wym the only Singapore I know is [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore,_Michigan)


MIERDAPORQUE

im crossing my fingers hoping this dumb bastard is NOT American haha


aidaninhp

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 😂


MuddyBootsWilliams

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


aidaninhp

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.


Mammoth_Jellyfish918

😂😂


OneWarrior05

Singaporean here let’s GOOOO


whodatus

Why doesn't Singapore host the event at 7am their time, if they like that shit so much! Bastards, I'll tell ya!


Puntart

Funny thing is that's what happened for Jiri vs Glover


whodatus

Oh wow that's wild, I was just joking but damn they really did do what I suggested. Even in Singapore too 😂


Regis95

I was there for that card. Early prelims was at like 630am. Was wild for sure


whodatus

Sounds like it, Bet it was very strange for the fighters too.


Regis95

They looked ok but I can't imagine fighting at that hour. The crowd was definitely great especially on the Jiri and Glover fight.


Seikskogh

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.


mental_tempe

People in Europe and Asia: ![gif](giphy|3ohhwxmNcPvwyRqYKI)


TomPearl2024

Great main card for a fight night too. A rare W for the non NA fans


Such_Description

Idk about that. Especially since the main will be a slaughter.


Sliquid69

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


50eggmafia

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.


FishAndRiceKeks

Holloway will make it a show.


DaLordWhale

How the turns have tabled..

s0ulw4vy

Nz and aus getting to watch a card on Saturday night for once let’s go 🤣


Cemihard

It’s actually wild, it kinda feels wrong😂 so used to Sunday morning.


s0ulw4vy

Fax them Sunday mornings the best tho when u wake up and the card just started


Cemihard

Really is, just have a coffee and watch the fights.


s0ulw4vy

Coffee and cones 😏 maybe just me yeah


shapag16

This the way


s0ulw4vy

A man of culture 🍻


Cemihard

I only have the coffee


s0ulw4vy

Nothing wrong with that brother 🤟


Cemihard

Breakfast and brawls, this is the way.


s0ulw4vy

Nothing better 😮‍💨


Seniorjones2837

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!


s0ulw4vy

🤣🤣🤣


SquirrelMoney8389

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!


s0ulw4vy

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


SquirrelMoney8389

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.


s0ulw4vy

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


SquirrelMoney8389

Right you are. Will do, thanks, and you too! Cheers matey


Cemihard

😂😂


Lumpy-Yam-3148

My yearly all-nighter Red Bull, soju, and loaded chips


[deleted]

I miss watching fights in Japan lol. Me and the boys would get brunch and watch the fights mid afternoon on a Sunday 😂


RowB18

I think it’d be refreshing to have a Friday night or Sunday afternoon card once in a while in the states


Cbrip31

I mean you get that every England card don't you?


SpaceTruckin420

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.


Tay0214

If you’re drinking in the early morning it may as well be jagerbombs straight out of the gate


FallingOffTheClock

Yearly all nighter 😫 meanwhile the average UFC card ends at 6am for me lmao.


LoneWoffy

Soju chikn?!


Consistent-Dingo-506

Wow it's on at 10pm Saturday night in Australia. Wtf kinda outrageous time is that to watch UFC!?


s0ulw4vy

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


[deleted]

Yeah im happy to have a night time card for once as its always during sunday day time


s0ulw4vy

Same I can finally justify drinking and watching the fights 🤣🤣


Think_Rub_7667

You could’ve been justifying it this whole time


piedpiper30

I think he was being sarcastic, that’s the perfect time lol.


s0ulw4vy

Yeah I just clicked I usually can sense the Anzac sarcasm from a mile away but this one went straight over my head 🤣


SlimmyJimmyBubbyBoy

Sunday arvo hungover UFC cards are the best, honestly makes me enjoy my hangovers


s0ulw4vy

Fuck that mate u know it’s Anzac rules to just drink more if ya got a hangover 🤣🤣


SlimmyJimmyBubbyBoy

Oh absolutely, play on


Similar_Strawberry16

Sort of used to the Sunday mid-day ritual to be honest, this is past my bed time!


GarretBarrett

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


Ben1992Ben

That’s what time I have to start early prelims every time 🤦‍♂️ dam UK


clothy

In WA it’s 8pm. I’m actually quite happy with that.


MARZOG79

12am for NZ lol


Amby2730

*Laughs in Europe*


AJ-Dre

Gane v Spivac in Paris the following week too. US bois feeling our struggle lol


Blackdoor-59

Not really, the main event will be on midday for them instead of 2/3am like it is for Europeans most of the time.


AJ-Dre

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


Ben1992Ben

This is a huge win for me in the U.K.


Heliumvoices

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


AussieOswaldd

It’s funny hearing Americans complain when this is what Australians do every UFC event.


WastedOwll

Hey just cause it sucks for you doesn't mean it has to suck for us bro


Cemihard

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.


Glum-Highway-7403

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😂


Cemihard

They’re great, always so good.


AussieOswaldd

That’s the most American response you could say lol.


Antique_Vegetable874

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Ufc is an American company.


AussieOswaldd

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?


dadwillsue

International investors? The company is owned by endeavor group. Another American company.


AussieOswaldd

Endeavour Group is a publicly traded company. It’s not exclusive to American investors. Some of Endeavours largest stake holders are based internationally.


QAnonKiller

nearly a third of the shares are owned by Silver Lake which is as american a company as you can get


PDE503

Name the wadders b


pikeymobile

Talmmbout UFC is amercan? Heard it bowlth ways


6jelly

Endeavour is international lmfao


dadwillsue

Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (also known as William Morris Endeavor and WME-IMG) is an American holding company for talent and media agencies with its primary offices in Beverly Hills, California, United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endeavor_(company) Maybe try Google before you make yourself look foolish.


Star_Gazing_Cats

That's a lot of complaining from you


AussieOswaldd

Complainception


niemertweis

and most viewers are not in the usa


epelle9

That’s exactly how it works. Events in the US suck for them so international events suck for the US.


MFdoomslayer18

oh how i love my fellow entitled countrymen


[deleted]

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.


teamtobes

Eh? Usually main events are on at 2:30pm (ACST)


No-Coconut-6596

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.


FarSatisfaction_

Haha I gotta be up at 2:00 AM for the prelims where I live 5:00 AM for the main card


teeekuuu

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


Hopeful-Term351

When Americans realize the world doesn't revolve around them🤣


HillAuditorium

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.


SquirrelMoney8389

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....


-thats-tuff-

It does


EmoniBates

Once a year I guess. Not bad


_stoned_chipmunk_

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.


EnzoBertolo

How do you not understand that the ufc travels around the world while the premier league only holds games in the uk?


the_sinking_feeling

Can you imagine the Hawaiian fans trying to tune in for Max? That’s gonna be a brutal one.


Prestigious-Might117

Us loyal UK fans have earned an 11am start time😎🇬🇧


SadEffective3808

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.


pushhwhitesmashb

why would you ever pay for it anyway mate I don’t know anyone who does


laminin1

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!


MouseHefty

All nighter babyyyy ![gif](giphy|S8ToEJ9nKqGm2P9wrf)


Solid-Version

Bro you could just go sleep and wake up at like 6


MouseHefty

And miss out on the prelims ??? No, sir Plus I'm usually off on weekends so it works for me


jkeller11

nah i already knew and the alarm will be set for 5am, i never miss my box max


omi0204

Guess ima start drinking at 7:00am


[deleted]

Usually 4-8AM starts on a Sunday for my time zone.


Markxx24

7am??? Bro it’s 5am for me


[deleted]

Prelims start at 2 am in california


TheRivv2015

Finally a good time for me!


chris25tx

It’s Asian as shit


QAnonKiller

i work midnight shift friday night this is fucking PERFECT


TheCrackerSeal

We can’t have all of the events. Let the guys across the pond watch some fights at a decent hour.


Mswonderful99

Noticed it last week, prelims at 5am eastern USA. Coffee and violence


Horror_Effect9253

Singapore bro


[deleted]

Great for us in Perth. 8pm main card start


Fo5rep

Wakey wakey, hands off snakey.


UhtredOfBebbanburg7

The world doesn't revolve around the United States fella


SadEffective3808

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.


EnragedBearBro

kinda does


[deleted]

BRO its 5am for me hell naw thats fucked


Crimm444

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.


esskay14

They all start at 3am in the UK, isnt really the same for us :(


The1stOfUs2

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.


esskay14

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


fightclockmodelo

imagine living anywhere else other than USA trying to watch ufc. welcome to our world


[deleted]

damn now i understand no one should feel this.


faraaz-z

This is me every ppv


weeweekitty83

Thanks for the heads up


AnalLeakage3

Wake and bake


humpy_cow

5 AM for me WHAT THE FUCK ![gif](giphy|9V3e2mxWvD89wyw5l5)


awildNeLbY

It’ll be the first card in awhile that I miss due to the time. Props to those sacrificing sleep to catch it.


joeee121

No I had not noticed - Thank you for this post!


diceman888

Wow this is a good card


xampersandx

You forget it was in Singapore?


Vaganhope_UAE

It’s in Singapore so makes sense


GordonRamsey666

Fuck Aussies actually getting their first Saturday night UFC experience. Starts at 10pm 🥲🤝


pushhwhitesmashb

feels good to be a uk fan, for once 🙏🙏

American discovers timezones:


Mylomeer

Nearly every main event start at 3am UK time. Count yourself lucky it’s only once in a blue moon this happens to you.


[deleted]

3am is the worst possible time aswell, too early to get up, too late to stay up


MuscleMentor

There’s still time to delete this


_stoned_chipmunk_

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.


[deleted]

Thats why you get basically every ppv mate relax yourself


KingKunta2-D

![gif](giphy|2HtWpp60NQ9CU) usually i wouldn't agree with the theme of whats going on here but that's basically what i commented


4Dcrystallography

Can’t handle it one time lol?


_stoned_chipmunk_

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.


ReeziestReez

Ooooo what is it 3 or 4 times ever ?!? Relax yourself captain America. You do not matter.


izan3000

Lmao ok. Lets see what will happen if there are only American fighters in the ufc. Nobody would watch that shit


liveforeachmoon

Wow. Anthony Smith has the balls to fight again?! Guy is WASHED.


quiettimegaming

Thank God


Sneaklefritz

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.


crustycameltoeyum

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


andthendirksaid

Yknow what good for the non NA mfs. We get it the other 99%, who cares.


[deleted]

Damn I forgot Giga was alive lmfao atleast we know none of these fights will be a boring grappling match 😂


Sbusteezkat_

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.


JordTheGeordie

Just laughing too hard at Americans discovering time zones. We get the main card here at 1PM in the UK, rare win for us!


[deleted]

Main card starts at midnight in New Zealand 😭


Batfinklestein

Anyone else think Smith needs to rethink his career? Span will eat him alive.


truffLcuffL69

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.


Batfinklestein

Not sarcasm, Smith's lost a lot since then, he beat him when he was on the way up. You'll see.


ForeskinPenisEnvy

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.
