[fedemma]

Why is it so early? anyone?

Prelims at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT
Main card at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT

It is in Fairfax, Virginia

 

[Towelie by TKO]

Huh, just checked and that is indeed accurate.

No idea why.

Fairfax a town of early birds?

 

[Notorious GOAT]

Probably got basketball and nascar on later that day.

 

[SimonNova]

Question about this : is the card available entirely on fight pass as soon at its over on tv? I'd like to watch it but in the evening.

???

 

[BigGucciSosa]

Same day as the Final Four

 

[BrazilianDude]

Think of the children!

 

[MestizoIV]

cuz UFC wants to give our Saturday nights back?

 

[memoriesofrem]

Same day as the Final Four

Came here to say this, UFC can't compete with the final four, especially since Virginia was a very good team this year.

 

[Lab Made]

That's Strange.

Anyone remember waking up or staying up for pride events? lol

 

[BellyDownArmbar]

Maybe testing for how Mendes/Lamas would draw for a possible McGregor fight in Ireland, which would be early in the day for US.

 

[InternetHero420]

According to the UFC website it starts at 11 am, not 10 am

 

[Bogeyman]

Is The Final Four a detective series?

[JKS]

[Jmarc]

Virginia is eliminated

They probably wouldn't have known that when they scheduled everything. They had to plan for that kind of thing.

 

[lifelessheap]

Yeah, I'm not getting up at 7am to watch the fights. lol. Gotta hit that record button.

 

[NoLies]

Probably got basketball and nascar on later that day.

hhmm the minute I read the thread title I just assumed this was somewhere else like in europe or china.

I don't have a clue why this happened.
