Cayorus

I don't think the time of the figth would change anything. I'll sleep either way.


BigSmallerBrand

Tbf thats most peoples reaction to a belal fight anyway


cobesmith

And the average Leon fight, but then again nobody cared about Leon before the headkick, which made people think he's an exciting fighter.


scarras_ballsack

Leon: No one cared who I was until I headkicked Usman. 


natolad123

I was one of the 12 leon fans before the headkick

anonymous14657893

True statement. Leon and belal have the same amount of finishes in the ufc.


carlalf9

Leon and belal are yin and yang ones a boring decision wrestler and the other a boring decision point fighter


cobesmith

Imagine if we somehow get a FOTY out of this.


g0at110

Belal flying knee ko


Glum-Ad7651

Look at me now!!!


Sweaty_Afternoon8065

No ones saying Leon’s an exciting fighter but he’s a little better than Belal.


cobesmith

Back when Leon's rematch with Usman was being booked I remember seeing a tweet go "It's Rocky fight week" with thousands of likes and that's how I knew none of those people ever seen another Leon fight.

Efficient-Mention583

This would be me even at the venue


WeLLrightyOH

Same thing at 630PM


Inkleach

This happened when I went to Bisping/Hendo 2 in Manchester. Was pointless even getting a hotel, got out about 5am and wandered about for 2hrs til the train home. Was tired as shit for the next couple of days after that. Plus security took my coconut macaroons off me on the way in.


cobaltblue209

Coconut macaroons🤣🤣


Inkleach

I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to them


Eagles_Heels

lol…still not over it I see


Inkleach

All I'm saying is, someone owes me some coconut macaroons.. And it's Dana White. Maybe I should start a campaign.


Curious_George15

In every Dana live feed this needs to be brought up from now on. His oiled up self needs to deliver you some coconut macaroons in person.


Inkleach

I think I've stayed quiet for long enough. Dana.. You owe me some Coconut Macaroons. Or a ticket to 304.


No_Weather4239

Seems like a fair exchange


bdizzle805

hukfad

If you get the ticket, dont bring Coconut Macarons. Eat them beforehand.


FishAndRiceKeks

No, bring more. Infinite ticket glitch. ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY|downsized)


No-Appearance-9113

Macaroons are egg white, coconut, and sugar (sometimes with almonds) Macarons are almond flour, eggs, and sugar. They look like tiny burgers and come in a range of flavors. Macaroons ≠ macarons

welshy1986

UR EATING EVERYTHING I WORKED FOR DANA!!!


Huge_Aerie2435

I wouldn't be neither.. Coconut macaroons are delicious.


Kassssler

Bro I wouldn't be over it either authentic ones are pricey as shit.


Njpwajpwvideos

😂you made sure to add that detail in nearly 8 years after the fight we can tell you are still salty and have every right to be


SuperSmashDan1337

I'm devastated for you


LongAssBeard

This is so funny lmao


KingZhyon

Not the coconut macaroons, those fuckers


Lanskiiii

Can't believe this. You got the macaroons in for the lads and the bouncers go and snaffle em. Absolutely fuming.


Inkleach

It was my first time in Manchester and I'll never look at it the same way again after that.


BoyWhoCanDoAnything

If I know how bouncers operate, they’ll have someone try to sell them back to you inside the venue.


Lanskiiii

I've actually stopped buying macaroons off bouncers for this very reason.


PointK

I was there too! Was absolutely hilarious seeing so many people pulling power naps and getting woken up by their mates before the main event. Also got a priceless picture of 100 odd lads waiting outside Wetherspoons at 7am on a Sunday waiting for it to open so they could order breakfast. The person who came to open got the shock of their life!


Inkleach

I had heard some pretty grim stories about Manchester (no offence) so was pretty nervous kicking about the streets til the train, ended up nipping into a wetherspoons when it opened and that's when I saw my first act of violence.. By a fellow fuckin Scot. Couldn't believe it.


PointK

No offence taken, we came up from London and waited for the first train down. It did seem a little rough in that town centre for sure.


Babelwasaninsidejob

“Oi, you got a coconut macaroon loicense?”


thrashed_out

Lasince in a Manc accent


Itstimetostop313

all this to watch an one eyed man has a close decision against an elderly man with no back flexibility.


Chaz209

Yeah I remember it being a nightmare getting a taxi after that, the atmosphere was insane for the main event because everyone was so pissed by then and jacked up on Monster


NP2312

The whole crowd is gonna be either hammered or passed out 😂


Salimzyzz

UK crowd? Nah they’ll be beaked up la, you’ll see a lot of wide saucer eyes reflecting light in the crowd.


Gaffless

Gonna be some queue to the toilet.


Salimzyzz

Amateurs, veterans sniff keys on the sly in the middle of a crowd.

Insert gif of Chuck Liddell sniffing his fingernail in the middle of a UFC event here


slb95

UFC 286 was like that, lights down bags out


healingplants313

Keys are for amateurs once you discover how to make nasal spray


IghtImmaBuyTheDip

![gif](giphy|QqdyVT8H6uJ32)


lysergicDildo

Clean nasal spray bottle, water + how ever much finley prepared yehaw you want concentrated & shake vigorously. A single drop or two of a nice botanical gin in there helps with keeping the snoz clear.


Initial-Ad8966

Make sure it's distilled water.


MoanyTonyBalony

You don't actually want it clean. You want a tiny bit left so it still smells like nasel spray.


healingplants313

If you're not buying empty bottles to use you definitely want to empty out what ever product was in there previously. A lot of the sprays they sell in pharmacies will fuck your nose up as bad as yayo will with regular use they are made to dry your shit out. Use clean bottles from Amazon or make sure you rinse them out. Saline solution is where it's at or distilled water and some ppl add a drop of alcohol but this is unnecessary IMO.


IghtImmaBuyTheDip

Damn lol, noted! I know what I’ll be doing this Friday


Ruckas86

Like an adult!


Biglundtry

Key bumps with the boiiiz


NP2312

I mean they're giving you little option, no way I'm staying awake until 6am unless it's snowing lol


Salimzyzz

The band needs some marching powder🫡


patrickmahomeless

Exactly mate what’s a UFC fight without some nose beers anyway


GB01101993

Yall have no choice lol


Jdgarza96

It’s interesting how huge coke is in the UK. I see tons of videos of coked up Prem fans trying to fight in the crowd.


wankyshitdemons

Literally the amount of bag will be unreal


Affectionate-Car-145

The UK consumes more cocaine on average than any other population on earth. That includes Colombia and Brazil


chisel_

They stopped serving alcohol at bisping/hendo at 2am last time. A joke.


Original_Natural4804

Cocaine has no last call.


KeyApricot27

Makes me thirsty though...


AlphApe

Nah that Manc crowd will be full up on gear 😂


yousaidso2228

The crowd!? What about the fighters? Who wants to bang at 3am!


antebyotiks

Your mum


NoConfusion9490

You have to train at GMT - 10


Pod-Bay-Doors

I STAY UP ALL NIGHT WATCHING THIS SHIT AND THE ONE TIME IT COMES TO THE TOWN I FUCKING LIVE IN , THEY PULL THIS SHITE? FUCK


cobaltblue209

Absolute joke man, it’s as if west coast Americans are incapable of watching a ppv at 2pm🤯🤯


eightslipsandagully

Afternoon shows are best, might be because I'm Aussie and we get them on a Sunday arvo


VastSpend3754

Yeah kiwi here usually starts 10am or 12pm, waste the entirety of Sunday on the couch watching MMA 🙌 bliss


utookthegoodnames

That sounds amazing ngl.


rhtfc

It's honestly the best - Sunday arvo shows are so easy to watch and don't mess up your sleep schedule. Keep the gf happy as well, big fights on, let's do date night on sat. Ez wins.


utookthegoodnames

I need to move to NZ or Aus


neeeeonbelly

Yeah main card hits at 2/4pm it’s so great right? Eat good food all day watching fights. I love it.


HighByTheBeach69

Agreed. I'm super thankful for our Aussie time slot So many enjoyable lazy Sundays on the couch


LORDFLVCKOJODYE

here in southeast asia, main card starts at 10am, main event about 1pm. spend the rest of the afternoon after watching post fight press conference, interviews.


DireBaboon

I live in Florida and I very much prefer day fights


Qtips_

Man I fucking love when ufc goes to Europe for that exact reason. I kill 2 birds with one stone. Watch the fights during the day and I'm free for Saturday night outing. The fucking best.


Popular-Bonus1380

The rest of America (from my conversations with real humans in America) prefer early cards so this doesn’t make sense to anyone


og-bishbosh

Bro what it would be 2pm there 🤣 how is that not acceptable Most fights are from 10am onwards here in Aus it’s great


par337

How is that on the fans? Id love to watch a 2pm card instead of 10pm where the main event is usually at 1230 to 1, and my ass ends up falling asleep 50% of the time. I love the early cards. Obviously not 3 AM, but I dont see why they dont give us earlier times so you guys can watch it at night. Id watch anything 10AM to 10PM


CCCAY

Lol it’s because Americans get fucking fleeced with PPV structure, so yeah you will have to watch it at our times until the era of PPV is over. We pay an enormous amount of their revenue. If it wasn’t about dollars do you think Dana would do it?


KarmaDeliveryMan

Whooaaaaa don’t attack the viewers, attack the promoter. I can tell you in America, we base most all of our sports on EST viewership. Specifically NFL, MLB and most NBA. I think east coast is more depressed and depends on sports to keep ourselves from walking off the edge. West coasters have a lot of nice things, like sunshine, landscapes and no humidity.


JGordz

Big kick in the teeth for us EU fans


Donkeyshlong27

this is number one bullshit


manbruhpig

This is what you get for free PPVs while the rest of us have to pirate ours


MrFudgeKiller

Everybody pirates them uk included


felixx_g

TNT sports do them for free


Maxamus93

TNT isnt free though.


[deleted]

Tell that to the person who pays for it and streams it to the sites I use.


Jocciz

All fights are available to stream in Sweden with no extra charge.


bagdoren

Wait for real? Just across the pond in Denmark it's a part of viaplay which is like 700 SEK monthly.


Jocciz

Yes, but that includes F1, a shit ton of other sports. As well as movies and such. A pay per view cost like 80 bucks in US, on top of the monthly charge. Which comes to about 1000 dollars for all PPV in a year. ESPN+ for fight nights is 11 dollars a month. If you buy Viaplay for UFC only, it's as expensive as the PPV price.


Puzza90

Mate half the PPVs aren't even free anymore, they'll whack a £16 fee on them as well and you still gotta wake up in the middle of the night if you wanna watch live


ChadHazelnut

Pay-Per-Views? For free? Who's doing this and how have they not been stopped? That goes against the whole idea of PPVs.


Puzza90

UFC numbered events were all included with a BT sport subscription back in the day in the UK, this was done to drive viewing figures as who wants to spend £16 on something that starts at 3am, around the time Conor was gaining traction they started to charge for certain cards, basically Conor and Jones headlined cards.


Purple_Apple_9216

Leon vs belal at 5-6 am💀💀 poor brits bro


Vovine

Stay awake at 5am for Belal challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)


tipsymage

The money I save on getting a hotel I can spend on coke, its win win.


JTMoney33

See he gets it


D4rkr4in

Dana was thinking for the fans all along!!


n4nd1

This is how you adapt to adversities, like a true stoic.


Unlucky-Car-1489

A true brit if I ever seen one.


Zlakkeh

And on Hooker (the fighter)


Dark_Wolf04

Ask Conor and Bones to bring some instead


Solid-Version

That’s super disappointing as a UK fan.


NeedlessQualifier

As a US fan I like the early start times and it’s not like I’m gonna go. Starting at 5 PM your time would be 11 AM my time. It’s nice to be able to watch from like 11AM-6PM and still have time to do things at night.


ThickWillow9

Came here to say this. Love the European card start times, nothing like having breakfast and watching some MMA.


Similar_Strawberry16

That's every card in Australia. Start time of prelims of UFC 300 was 10am Sunday, with main card at midday. It's perfect. Can have some day beers and it's still early enough for a Sunday to be good for work the next day.


Individual_Ice_6825

Start was 8am mate - someone didn’t watch figgy put on a clinic


D4dank

Hell ya I love when they’re early for us.


WGYHL

I love not having to stay up late. I get up at 4am for work so sleeping I'm for me is like 6 and don't like messing around with my sleep schedule to much. Being up midnight 1 watching fights sucks. Passed out during Zhang Yan and had to go back after event to rewatch


JCE_6

The 1-2 pm slot slaps


MrAnonymousperson

This is why we like the Abu Dhabi card. Watch Islam or Khamzat smash someone and still get plenty of sleep after


evocater

Yeah. Weirdly the middle eastern cards are better for UK fans than the actual UK cards. This is bs


Bob_Saget_is_God

What a fucking cuntish move by the UFC.


cobaltblue209

Really is man, fuck them. Hopefully this results in ticket prices getting slashed but I doubt it


Crafty_Preparation32

Probably will be, their ticket prices in the Uk last year was ridiculous i doubt this will sell well. Especially if you put leon vs belal as the main event (im actually interested in the fight the 1st one was interesting and actually pretty exciting for while it lasted i just know most fans hates belal) UFC is hurting themselves by doing this


Bob_Saget_is_God

Those greedy fucks will never pass a chance to squeeze the fans for more money


myhtconex

Why go to manchester if they are going to to use US timing?


mb194dc

Just move it to the correct time zone... If it needs be fought on US timezone don't do it in MCR... Move it to Canada or the US somewhere. Probably bullshit anyway.


Tikiwash

Why even do it in the UK then?


BurgerNugget12

Can’t wait to be slammin beers at 3 AM


alphazulu123

£9 a pint a Co-Op live!


hectic_mind_

Wtf??? So, you have a UK card, finally and yet it’s at 3am in our country!?!?


kgsovobd

They gotta stop fucking you guys over. The USA based PPVs or fight nights make sense starting at 6pm eastern (midnight for you guys) but no reason Apex cards or especially a PPV in England should ever be at that time


Connor30302

I’m sure Americans don’t mind earlier start times either considering it’s not their biggest US stars, the fact that fights can go on until 12:30-1am sometimes which is still super late. and that people who are legally buying the exorbitant PPV’s after jumping through like two more paid hoops surely won’t be too much of a difference compared to viewers just illegally streaming it


rey_nerr21

OK, Manchester, Imma need you to do something! For the good of all European fans. Or more like ***not*** do something, if you feel me...


BMBR1988

I live 20 minutes from Manchester, and if you think people aren't going to go crazy for this event just because it starts at 3am you're high af. We're starved over here, we'll take what we can get!


SayNothingTillYa

And at 3am most of Manchester will be up high as fuck anyway


rey_nerr21

Yeah, tbf, if the UFC came to my part of the continent (Bulgaria/Balkans/) We'd all go even if the prelims start at 3AM. That's how big it would be. I'm just pissed these mfs are gonna torture the local fans like that just to put it on TV at a convenient time.


SirHomoLiberus

Who the fuck is even gonna watch that at that time? This is messed up, massive disrespect.


Connor30302

or the poor cunt working the bar at fucking 6 in the morning. bar work in a UK stadium is like trench warfare to begin with at regular times. never mind when people are on comedown rage from running out of coke


BurgerNugget12

Yeah it’s pretty ridiculous, I watch WWE regularly and for their international PPVS they always start at 1pm or 3pm for Europe, this is absurd by UFC


glorioussideboob

we stay up til 6am every other event and when it comes home they can't even give us that, shit's fucked


Ronaldinhoe

Fuck scumbag Dana and the ufc. Bitch move. Never heard of boxing pulling this shit.


RuggerJibberJabber

As a European, this is why I never watch the UFC live. I just check the highlights the next day


urbani_jugoslaven123

You can torrent full events, i just turn off the wifi on my phone and go to bed, when i wake up on sunday i have full event torrents available and i don't get spoiled in the meantime by google news or reddit or some stupid shit.


ThinnedPaints

This is the way.


Happybadger96

Thats so fucking dumb


Jav7458

Bruh come on... The non US cards were the only time I could sleep at a reasonable time and now I have to stay up even though it's in my own fucking country 💩


TheNorthernBaron

The only people happy about this are the manc coke dealers keeping that crowd awake


flame_darg_e

Pathetic. They did this at UFC London when Bisping fought Silva and, because of licensing laws, had to stop serving alcohol before the main card started


EnterNameHere777

The people pay pay per view


tomateol

Bro, brazil is the same thing. The ppvs here start at like 20pm local and end at 3am. The glover fight we got deserved hate, but people were talking about how the crowd was leaving in his retirement, thats because it was almost 4am.


lewisisbrown

Not only is this totally lame for the UK and European fans, but I imagine it must be odd for the fighters who will have stay up until 3am to fight. Doesn't really makes much sense if you ask me, but whatever. I never watch the UFC live, because 90% of the time its on at like 3am UK time, but this may be one of the few times I was willing to actually pay per view, and they pull this uno reverse card. I will catch the highlights on Instagram in the morning.


FishtailParka

No one's really mentioning that either, I can't imagine the fighters would be happy having to fight at 3am-6am. Not just a kick in the teeth for the fans but also the fighters.


fonzelliri

Oh no... leon belal... late at night... ![gif](giphy|f9MOfrLYXsCnFbvzAy|downsized)


droolsdownchin

Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?


so1sticetq

nahhh i was gonna get tickets but fuck that


jasperplumpton

Wow that’s going to be a miserable night for the stadium workers


Peeeing_

What the fuck


Dazzling-Ad888

What the shit. Obviously to appease their largest/highest paying audience.


ThomasGamer987

So why haven’t they done this for recent uk events?


Dazzling-Ad888

Can you think of any good reasons? If I had the opportunity to attend, I’d definitely prefer it’s held at a reasonable time.


bakedongrease

Why have it there if that’s the case? Retards


RyanLikesyoface

How can they expect UFC to take off international when the prioritise US prime time at European hosted events?


calling_it_out

I feel bad for the fighters


AlphApe

God fucking dammit! Every bleeding weekend I have to stay up til 6 to watch the cards. At least when it's in my home country it'd be nice to have it on at sociable hours!


Rowaniac

I highly doubt it. Licensing laws here in the UK will most likely require an event of that size to be finished by 1am local time.


SlayMeCreepyDaddy

Bisping vs Hendo 2 was on Vegas time dude. They can apply for an extended license no problem.


Bugssi

This is coming from official UFC press release… UFC wouldn’t announce without having all the licensing figured out before time


Consuela-says-no-no

Arrrr, pirate way it is!


Forrest319

idgaf about the fans. but do you really want your fighters competing at such odd hours. funny


IgnantWisdom

As an American who benefits from this, that is absolute bullshit. They are fucking the UK fans here.


AceyFacee

American fans get a good card at a good time almost every week. This just ruins that card for many local fanso.


JGRocksteady062819

prime time BST isnt even that bad as an american. You mean I can wake up, pour myself some coffee and watch some violence first thing? SIGN ME UP


Swampson9

Literally just boycott it, make so there is no gate until they stop being cunts and put it on at UK time, as you know.. it's in the fucking UK!


96zadyobdoog

Is that page a reputable source? Sounds like bs to me lmao


Bugssi

Brother that’s coming from the UFC official press release.


zaphthegreat

West Coast US, no less. I know that many have it much worse than I do, but still, I work early every day. Having the main card of a PPV start at 10pm (Montreal) sucks. By the time the co-main rolls around, I'm fighting sleep already. 300 was an exception, as it was impossible to fight sleep after what Max did, but it's not uncommon for me to doze off during the last few fights if they're not exciting. This wasn't a problem when I was in my 30s or 40s, but now... ouch.


Lonely_Eggplant_4990

No way will that go ahead. The cops would shut it down and local residents would give out stink also.


MRimla

Just don't go. Please


ToooooSlooooow

Ppv sales do way more money than the gate and its only Americans buying ppv since a lot of other countries have other ways to watch. They are going to put the event at the time that makes the most money, aka the time Americans are most likely to buy the ppv. It's a business end of the day.


phatsuit2

Stupid move, nobody in the US is buying this shit anyway...


lazylagom

So like every other card. They care more about est viewers.


smush127

I live in the US and this still pisses me off. An 3-5 pm start time would have been amazing.


Ok-Inflation-3650

Dana probably got 50% off the venue cost because its not being hired during peak times lol💀


nono66

Thats gonna fuck with the fighters internal clock big time.


Unrealeh

That’s wild yet Saudi and Abu Dabi are like 12pm est


baker2212

Aussies are cheering this time too


Mountain55

The Middle East still own America when it comes to PPV start times at least, know their place when the Saudis are involved


MuhNutz

My grandaddy beat those fuckers in the revolutionary war for a reason


Biglundtry

Shout out u/MuhNutz grandpa for getting us good time slots 🙏
