The UFC dont give a flying fuck about the UK audiences
feels like ufc doesn’t care about any of the fans, they’d have this fight in the apex if they could
Why should they UK his the population of 1 US state
@ericpeterson5269 when the NFL play their games over here they play to the local time
@johnw2019 that's because they get their money on live attendance, they don't do PPV for NFL games🤯😘
@ericpeterson5269 excellent point to be fair
Why even bother hosting it in the uk… it’s so contradicting.
Because there are two British fighters. The UFC is making their money (Tom and Leon for that matter) from U.S audiences, so don't get it twisted. Being un Britain is solely to sound cool for U.S audiences and not for them.
@@slymcfly123so why have it in the UK then, who tf is gonna stay up til 6am to see the main event
As someone who lives on the east coast (US) I was excited to not have to wait until midnight for the main fight. I can’t see why they couldn’t push it 2-3 hours to the left
They had tests where they started earlier and it doesn’t helps sales
We wait until 3am every week :')
@@Ziggyvuwhere you hear that ?
@@ryanchavers4650 When is it not about money?
I love when the fights would start early . I remember islam olivera started early I get to watch fights all day long .
As a UK fan. The time is awesome if you got a ticket. That's a proper bender of a weekend. You can save money on a hotel and use the money on drugs to keep you awake !
lol beautiful
Valid take
Best answer ever.
Wise words. 🙏
They love cocaine in Manchester so I’m sure the crowd will be lively lmao
Come on chael you’re expecting us locals to wait till 6am for the main event in our own country
Yes.
I refuse to stay awake until 6am for a card held in my own country. Im too damn tired boss
UFC tried this with 286 and ESPN felt like the event didnt perform. Remember ESPN are the main broadcast for UFC, all the countries around the world get the ESPN broadcast and they are the ones who make the PPV money and pay the PPV points.
So it's not like the UFC wanted to do this, it's because of ESPN and specifically the PPV model in North America that is the reason for this.
No matter what we say, they clearly dont maximise buys there unless in a time zone where families, friends, get togethers all happen.
I'm in the UK by the way so I feel this but I get it and if Tom or Leon defended in the US people wouldn't be happy about that either, it's a catch 22.
UFC 286 was on UK time by the way.
People don’t want nuance they just want to hate on ufc which I get though. Making your champs fight at 3am is looney because you need more profit kind of sucks
The champs get a piece of that profit.
@@moto-fl3rdyes 😊
@@Ziggyvuyes, but you have to realise this is the broadcast partner who make the PPV money and pay the PPV points so if they were unhappy with how 286 performed (which was at a regular UK time), they are going to want the PPV at a later time. This is why British fight nights are always on UK time but numbered events, maybe not (especially if 286 didn't perform enough for them).
Yeah 100%, I just don't get why this event would be a ppv, as you say the Americans don't care that much about British fighters even Leon and Tom aren't big draws to make this a ppv. Mcgregor fight will be a ppv and that's a month before, don't get why this couldn't just be a normal event and let the UK and European fans get to watch theyre own fighters, it's once or twice a year like
Don't they change the times for middle eastern events? Definitely remember Oliveira/Islam being midday for me
Yes but my guess is abu dabi pays the difference and or ufc owes them for fight island
And Edwards Usman 3 in London
When Islam ko'd Volk that was at 2pm
It's disrespectful to not accomodate the UK fans for this event
😂
Fuck em
@@SFCBEITZwhy is that funny he’s right
@@libertarianpunk8558because he’s technically right but from a money making perspective he’s just wrong.
@@silentkyng3661 it's only wrong because the UFC forces US fans to pay insane ppv prices. In the UK, fans get this fight as part of their regular TV package for BT so there's no ppv fee.
Im a massive ufc fan from the UK and I am so disappointed. Im not even looking forward to this event no more, I will not watch it live. What is the point of taking the ufc to the UK if you are not going to broadcast it at a social time? I hope this fails hard, keep it in the US if thats the case, Dana got us excited for nothing.
Chael this is just wrong, Makhachev vs. Volkanovski 2 started at 2 pm EST. Kinda a poor excuse.
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Uncle Chael plz tell ur editor to stop adding cuts between ur thoughts. We prefer raw videos like before 🙏🏼
Can you believe the nerve of the guy to cut Great Uncle Chael? who's he look like, Rocky Balboa?
100% agree.
If the UFC are going to pander to the seppos why even bother having an event in Europe?
So what's the actual point of coming to the UK and putting it on at this time just have it in the states
Great idea! Chicago or Detroit maybe
0300 are you kidding.
Big surprise Americans can't handle basic time management.
Too right
Main event happens around midnight for every event
Midnight in the UK
West coast it’s 4pm
East coast it’s 7pm
Still reasonable times for both audiences
Then why travel to other countries if the ufc won’t accommodate their supports. Not good business in my opinion.
I think the local fans should boycott the event. Period.
Lmao only thing that will happen is they won't go there as much
If they do that then the ufc simply won’t go back hahaha you youngsters that want to boycott and protest just haven’t figured it out
@@hogleg8103Then the ufc has played themselves out the uk market, a shortsighted move. The ufc needs the uk more than the uk needs the ufc.
I was going to go but won’t anymore. Would have been my first live UFC experience and I’m sure many are in the same boat.
Well you’re a communist without a ticket
UFC 294. Started early as fk in the USA
I understand it starts at this time but it makes me wonder why they are staging it in the UK if they are going to arrange it around U.S. scheduling. I'm surprised a U.K. venue would allow this as well.
The venue is being hired out, they don't care what time it is.
Thanks Chael from England.
wasn't ufc 286 in London and was on uk timezone why isn't this fight
To be honest, it bothers me as a fan because I’m always falling asleep before the main event. What’s wrong with main card starting at like, 8 our time? Finishing at midnight.
You’re asking every British person to do something they don’t want for something I don’t want. How am i going to watch the post show when I fall asleep for 80% of comain events. My 6th sense the only thing that wakes me up for the main event I swear. Prelims could very easily start at 4
When in Abu Dhabi for ufc 294 they were on local time so why not UK?
Because Muslims get special treatment
They usually are when in England or Europe. Shit we have to stay up to 6am to watch most events and it's great to see ufc cards on at normal times for us even if it's 2 or 3 times a year. Il not bother watching this card if it's not at reasonable time
The uk dosnt buy ppv
@@tobiaslyons5470 yeah true. Don't get why they made this a ppv. When in Britain it'll likely be full of British fighters so the fans can see them live, there's only really Edwards and aspinal are the only draws to fans outside of the UK but even though aren't in demand enough to make this a ppv. There most be a few superstars agreed behind the scenes to make this a ppv
American fans don't seem particularly interested in Tom, and most I see seem to hate Leon, so the show probably won't do huge numbers anyway. Changing the time to suit us wouldn't hurt the UFC (who, let's not forget, are a multi-billion dollar company) to any substantial degree. They can afford to cut local fans some slack, if they're hosting outside of the US.
Either have it at a sensible local time, or keep the show in the US.
European fans have to stay up to like 6-7 in the morning every event. I think it's reasonable to reward that loyalty every now and then with a European centered start time, especially if the event is IN Europe. They've done it for the Middle East a couple of times too.
Majority PPV buys come from the USA. Hence the tailored start time
Having to wait til 3am for the main card of every ppv is tough so tough. Sometimes I’ll go to sleep set and set multiple alarms but just don’t wake up.
The main card for Leon vs Usman 3 in the o2 arena in London started at 9pm. They changed it there why can’t they do it again?
10PM EST works for both, for UK fans we have to take an early sleep if we wanna be rested and we start at 4AM, that’s doable, if it was moved to 8PM EST we’d get a 2am start so it would be a late late night event for us drinking with friends and an early evening start for the US, that’s iffy at best. If you start at midnight US it puts both audiences in a weird situation. If you start at 10PM UK time that’s 4PM EST where a ton of people would be working and the big shows would be over before people put their kids to bed
Welcome to my life Chael, hailing from South Africa… most of the ufc cards start at some ungodly hour, but we’re committed 😂
honestly its crazy, having adrenaline dump at 5am and then going to a family breakfast 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
chael i upvote all your videos gg m8
Those early morning fights get me through work easy
This is only going to matter if they have the viewership and audience they think they have.
As a UK fan I totally get that it was done to sell PPVs - but why not start main card a teeeeny bit earlier? Even at 7pm EST - would be midnight for UK? European fans Sundays are destroyed every single week, setting alarms to wake up at 3am to watch UFC. It's just a shame for us. How many American fans would give up their Sunday and wake up at 3am to watch UFC week after week?
Francis and tyson started their fight at like 7 pm EST
Didn't last year or earlier this year some fights where happening at somewhere around 2pm
Both ufc 280 and 294 that were in abu dhabi, started their prelims at 7am pst /10am est, maybe espn finds those to perform well compared to the early uk cards? Idk
Even a few hours earlier. 3am main card, around 6am main event local time is joke

Just googled. UFC 204 Manchester starts at 11p local time. PPV starts at 3a local time. Ouch
We stay up at this time to watch the cards every weekend can we not get a break 😂
was a weird vibe leaving the arena at 7am
@@DannyBolton23 half the arena will be coming down by 4 😂
@hardpaper3192 at 204 people were either half asleep or fighting 😂 same again for 304 should be easier to get a ticket at least
@@DannyBolton23 bet their still pricey as fuck tho mate!! If they put some American name on they could change the PPV time and still make money the tight bastards 😂
I don’t but ppvs anymore because not staying up till 1am. I’m old lol if they started at 7 or 8 on the East coast I’d buy every one. It takes me the rest of the weekend to recover when I do buy one the way it currently is.
Couldn’t agree more! Ridiculous to tell the UFC to lose out on ad and sponsorship revenue just for their sake. Get your companies to compete more to sponsor UFC events and match the viewership, most are probably streaming illegally anyways
This isn't new. At least 1-2 UFC PPV a year start early for the US. The group I watch with calls it "punches with brunches". We usually notice about 10 days before the fight it's an early one.
I agree with Tom. As an east coast guy I wouldn’t mind a 1pm start time at all. I’m old. I like to get in bed by 9pm. Thats why I love Sunday football at 1pm.
as someone from manchester who want to get tickets. but i cannot got at that time at night!!! child care travel etc etc you yet again ill will have to wait till a sunday morning ... whats the point :(
Unbelievable
The UFC do events on uk time when there’s a fight card in uk or Europe, which is why this is such a big deal, having our own champ not fight on uk time as usual
In US chances not many will buy when it's in afternoon people won't know it's on most of the time 10 PM Eastern time it is
Bold statement on the front of the title BMF!
I love in America when we have the occasional card on a Sunday afternoon
I don’t understand what the big deal is who doesn’t enjoy staying up watching fights till sunrise?
Because not everyone are degenerates they have lives
To be honest I'm a night owl and watching all the American time events at home in England is fine so I can't wait for 304!!
Wednesday 5th June can't come soon enough for pre sale tickets!!
Mokaev, Allen, Paddy, Leon, Aspinall main card wouldn't complain!
Do I understand correctly, that Chael in the last second calls Aspinall an idiot?
He was calling you brother
If its a UK event im pretty sure the venues arent allowed to actually have the events on in the stadium past midnight? Isnt there a curfew?
Some Nightclubs in London go all morning, 7am. Have a break and then back open. It’s perfectly legal and authorised
@@Timesend Yeh it's fair enough. I just figured with stadiums and festivals and the like any of them I've ever gone to is like 2300 cut off. Might have been because open air etc. but just thought it's not the usual.
@@thehangman3105 yeah, it’s still sucks massively for uk fans though 😂
You can get exemptions for these stuff.
Alcohol stops technically at 11pm in England...but you just apply for an extension.
Now whether an arena can do that compared to a nightclub...no idea.
There's also a noise pollution issue that I can't imagine has been tackled
Chael here in UK we watch UFC live 1am to 6am in the UK
Look I work overnight shift so I’m not complaining
So we cant change it because it didnt work in boxing for an undercard (like all boxing events...) and because the ufc has an "always" rule now (oh but they switched it up before when they MOVED TO SATURDAYS). Chael will always back up the ufc even for something thats not just. Also no mention of Francis going thru a hard time..
Unfortunately chael is correct. You have to play to your main audience when seeking pay per view. Humans are very habitual creatures. If you want people to tune in they need to know that they’re sitting down in front of the tv at the time they expect. These studies have been done time after time. To scheduling is a very very very well understood thing.
Whe in europe have this Every time my frend 😢
Why go yo UK at all btw ? What's the point ? Nobody is gonna pay money for this.
The money is in the American audience.
That last two Abu dahbi ppvs were starting early afternoon late evening.. it's not all that new
Chale conveniently forgets about the 2 UFC ppvs in Abu Dhabi
No jump cut edits. Let the Bad Guy speak
I can't believe that I got a bit bored of Uncle Chaels videos. I watch them every day but I don't have the time for the details. I'll stay a fan till the channel goes out that's sure though.
actually max vs zombie i remember watching it starting at 4am and it being 7am and i was okay w it
Comparing 304 to Fury vs Francis is apples and oranges, totally
Hey other countries, your markets are big enough to sale as many ppv's as the US.
What glasses does Chael wear
I'm used to staying up anyway
Chael Sonnen editing is “Absolutely Terrible”
Your a legend you like know one speaks like you its like im javing personal conversation with you 😊 love it been here since 50k subs m8
Money is everything and everything is about money!
Leon vs usman was uk time. And what about Abu Dhabi was there local
UK is like 5hr ahead of ny
Hilarious. I actually never noticed when the events start. In New Zealand it is somewhere around lunchtime. I turn off youtube until I have seen the fights or the news will happen before I can watch it. I only notice a change when they are in Saudi Arabia because the crowd and stage is different, or the Apex with its skeleton crew. I could care less when it starts really, since I just buy the PPV.
*couldn't care less.
How has chael still not covered Alex?
don't all UK fight fans use Colombian marching powder to ward off sleep?
for the first time ever Chael had zero good points. Regular ufc event is around 2-9 at night for me. Dare to complain about watching it on an afternoon… come on man
Chael I love you abd you were my fav fighter when you were fighting however your wrong here. I sit up to 6am every weekend watching UFC cos I love it. Give us this once or twice a year for gods sake
Overeem/Brock was on Friday December 30, 2011.
Sorry, I don't mean to nitpick.
I just remember that night well. It was my parents 50th wedding anniversary. 😁
UFC needed to commit to giving the Brits this UFC event, or not. Taking the show over there and having the main card start at 3:00am local time is ridiculous. It’s a bad look and disrespectful to the local ticket holding in-person audience.
I’m not suggesting 10:00pm GMT. But, the 3:00 am main card is both embarrassing and disrespectful to them.
If we start the main card at 8pm, we could be fine with that but if you want to start any earlier americans are just not gonna watch it and we support the ufc way more than uk fans. We actually pay for ppvs.
The whole point of going to different countries is to expand the business elsewhere, not gonna do that if it's at that time.
Yea I can't imagine paying that stupid amount of money for UFC 😂
Undefeated.
True
It’s made your day getting a reply from Uncle Chael admit it 😉😂👍
@@Eddie-Spaghetti Day? A day?! Getting a reply from Chael is a life changing experience.
@@ToomasVane😹👍
@@ChaelSonnenOfficial I love you undisputed champion
Ufc start times suck absolute crap! Needs to be 2-3 hours earlier.
One more thing and you can correct me if I'm wrong. Which fight brought the most attention , interest andrew outcome on the biggest card in the history of the ufc which was ufc 300? That is still talked about to this day the excitement is still resonating all over the media and the fans. The BMF. It's one to became a champion in a weight class. It's a whole different ballpark even it come to the BMF Title. The top bmfer amongst all bmfers. To hold the bmf title is a super strong statement. The number one bmfer among all bmfers. Maybe I just lov the sport to much. I cried like little girl when Max won the bmf title. I'm getting turned on and getting goosebumps just talking about. It icant wait to see what's next. I can care less about the other titles. I was on the verge of giving up on the ufc as a fan. Then rhe bmf made its glorious return and suddenly no pun intended I'm hooked again. I can't get enough of the bmf. I'm hooked I need to know what's next and where it's going. I hope it goes the way I think it will because I don't think you guys realize what a HUGE DEAL the bmf title is to us the fans. It's new exciting mysterious and it has me on the edge of My seat. If I don't stand up right now I might slip off because I'm sweating in antisopaton and I might have to check my underwear because the ufc just got interesting again. Take this from a fan who talks with other fans about ufc.we are all waiting with our palms drenched with nervous anticipation and perspiration like some some drug attics just to get a tiny bits of info on what's next for the bmf anybmf info is great info we are hooked and we want more.
There will be a lot of coke in the arena
I get the money side of it but its not like they will lose money on the event on uk time. Very short sighted of the ufc that claims they want to be international. I assumed they held events in other countries to try and promote there and gain fans they didnt have before. So seems moronic to have an event in a country and not accomodate their fans. They might as well just have it in the US as the people that will watch it are the same people that stay up every weekend anyway. All this does is mess with the british athletes having to live and train on british time and compete during the night. Only positive is that tom will smash any of your boys with or without sleep so ill have a good night regardless.
100% right mate chael taking a crap side in this argument
I WISH we did 10pm brit time bc then id actually get to watch the shit at a normal time here. The brits arent happy, neither am i. The main card already starts 3-5 hours too late IMO anyway. Watching an hype inducing main card until 2am means youre up all night anyway. Ive never once watched an exciting ppv and then turned the tv off and went to bed. Its never happened. Not once. So then i watch tye post fight presser, then reactions to the fight etc. Pretty soon its sunrise. This sport, on the whole, is terrible for your health. When i remember i can just unplug and watch the card when i wake up the next morning im a much happier person. Im going to be doing this from now on.
Dear Mr. Sonnen, I am curious how You look at one topic. I dońt want to disrespect Tom Aspinall (it is diffucult to say how good he is) but I see some magical triangle of superb fighters Jones beats Pereira (probably 7:3 or 8:2 ), Ngannou beats Jones probably (6:4), and Pereira beats Nganno (probably 6:4). Best Wishes to You and Your Family. ;-)
🤣🤣 ''.. Always.. Idiot.. " said Chael. Such a Poet! 🤌
Aspinall vs Poatã..chama 🔥
bring back friday ufc
No home advantage for the UK lads I guess lol
I'll be streaming it from my phone in bed
UFC has a smaller UK and European market because even when it’s in the UK or Europe it still runs it on US time. Completely discounts / disrespects the European fan base.
It's not like U.S fans love staying up till 1:30am, no one asked for this!
Friday night smackdown was was on Friday before ufc became what it is and wwe ppv been on Sunday since forever what are you talking about
