UFC Fights Should Start Earlier

[Dimbis]

What the hell do I want to be waiting all day for? They start at 8 PM here in in my state, and I started going to bed at 9 for work. I don’t know if I’ll be able to stay awake my friends.

Also, I’m done with Bruce Buffer. His intros are way too damn long, just let them bang.

And ESPN SUCKS! I get they have to fill in cable time or whatever the hell, but the wait in between fights is ridiculous. This just turned into a rant. Lay on that couch and pile on what’s been bugging you.

My guy lives on the east Coast and is sick of waiting until 1am to watch Weili/Suarez and DDP vs Sean Strickland fight to a decision lol

Most people don't work on Sundays. If you do, you should be used to the world not catering to your unique situation. I do, so I get up extra early Sunday and watch it at my pace, skipping all the BS and fast forwarding to the finishes on most fights. Problem solved!

 

[EndlessCritic]

I agree. I prefer the fight nights that end around 10EST.

I guess I did, but they just drag things on too much sometimes, and I’m not trying to see all that. “This main event is brought to you by some random shitty movie that has nothing to do with this but they paid big bucks so we’re throwing it in right now.” Come on, just get on with it Bruce. I hated when they first started it and now it just irks me.

UFC 312 is starting at 6 AM on Sunday where I live. That's plenty early enough.

I like doing that with the ESPN fights. I mute a group chat with my buddies so I don’t get any spoilers though and stay away from it.

I like the fights in the Middle East that start at 10 am my time.

 

[BearVictim]

i agree but then again i've always had trouble with the later showings, i fell asleep halfway through waiting for tim sylvia vs randy couture.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

It's set up so the Main Event starts at 10PM in Vegas

 

[WhiteMousse]

Get your buddy James Beam to help you. He'll make the time fly, he's a funny guy

Is that prime time in Vegas or something? If so, I thought it would be later.

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

I like the saudi abu dhabi cards since they start 2 pm for the main card

Yup. I'm in the central time zone and with a baby in the house now it is not worth it to stay up to midnight or past for a fight that is fairly likely to go to a decision.

The main events are generally over by then. Either way, ridiculously late. 7pm start time for PST and 10pm for EST is absurd and completely out of touch with any other sport. Anyway, this has been discussed for years.

To TS, ESPN has not increased lengths of events. Develop some perspective. Fox events were equally horrible. The fights also have to be scheduled to accommodate for the possibility of them all going to decision. This would be an obvious consideration, if you used your brain.

But Sean said he’s going to the death again, don’t you believe him?

So take an early nap so you can stay up later?

I’m not blaming only ESPN, I just hate the format they use where they buy the cable space it takes for all of the fights and the possibility of decisions, but ends up being like 80% filler and 20% fights. I understand that’s how TV works, but I don’t like it.

What am I, a baby? (After making a thread on the internet complaining about the smallest things in life)
