halfway through this and, 1) drat these fights are dope af, definitely worth the time 2) how does every non-UFC promotion have better promotional flair than the UFC 3) more promotions need a jam band scoring the fight ringside

As far as flair that's nothing compared to the big Thai Fight cards where they go to different cities and have an outdoor arena with giant pictures of the king and queen that the fighters bow to during their walkouts since the promotion is funded by the thai crown.

UFC 304 in Manchester is starting at 3am local time.

Guess Dana White is going to find out what a couple ten thousand utterly loving plastered mancs are like.

I was curious and went to look on reddit and like 75% of the comments I saw on the announcement were saying no alcohol, only coke to make it through lol

Wait, they’re seriously doing it from like 3am to 6am locally just so it’s live in primetime in the US? I never paid much attention to this stuff, but that’s extremely hosed up. It’s not like US people wouldn’t watch UFC in the late afternoon.

It’s so stupid, afternoon cards are far superior.

That's not the actual start time though, exact times probably aren't set yet but judging by other cards prelims probably start at like 11 pm

It is still stupid but it isn't quite as stupid as it seems.

Sure, 3-6am is just the main card. It’s still ridiculous.

Twitter has been around for 15? years.

I follow almost exclusively local news and mma news. I always forget that it has spoilers. Same with YouTube, people always put spoilers in their thumbnail pictures.
