Huh Joe Hogan is commentating I thought he wasn’t going to. And also he’s wearing a suit I thought he didn’t wear suits.

Not this time, gave a couple hour heads up about this in the main UFC thread, sorry.

Anyway there's a countdown on screen, fights don't start for another half hour.

It's probably cold as gently caress in there since there's no people and the HVAC system is designed for a full arena.

There's no way this huge block of wasted time is due to Jacare pulling out, right? Why would they budget a whole hour for a single three-round fight?

It's not a whole hour, the broadcast started at like 6:20 EST, the original listed google start time is 6:30 EST, half an hour for a fight is about the norm.

If fights are canceled always move the early prelims up 30 minutes per fight that was canceled. It's always been this way

They did bring up something interesting earlier. Why have the event in a giant empty arena when you could do a smaller one or a warehouse? Or fight island, I suppose.

That's a good question. Contract obligations maybe?

Also you could probably rent a stadium for 100 bucks right now.

Yeah but usually this means the broadcast will start at that time too, as opposed to today, where the broadcast started 10 minutes before original scheduled time, with a 40 minute "countdown to first fight" on screen.
