Rise and shine! West Coast fans are gonna hate the UFC 333 special start time
Wakey! Wakey! Eggs and bakey!
Melbourne, Australia - October 18: The UFC is set to bring its event to “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi, with the fight card airing on Paramount+ from inside Etihad Arena. As the United Arab Emirates follows Gulf Standard Time (GST), the organization has had to alter the start times for fans across the United States. The Oct. 24 special event will see the early preliminary card kick off at 10 a.m. EST (7 a.m. PST) on Paramount+, followed by the late preliminary card at 12 p.m. EST (9 a.m. PST) and the main card at 2 p.m. EST (11 a.m. PST).
Although US fans may find themselves waking up early or setting an alarm to witness the initial bouts, the schedule concludes by mid-to-late afternoon, leaving Saturday night free for leisure activities. UFC 333 boasts a star-studded lineup, including the featherweight title clash between Alexander Volkanovski and Movsar Evloev, Petr Yan's defense of his bantamweight title against Merab Dvalishvili and a pair of thrilling matchups at the flyweight and 265-pound divisions.
