There's a 12 hour difference between Las Vegas and the UAE for starters. And Sunday is actually the start of the work week in the UAE. Friday & Saturday is their weekend. So having the fight on what is essentially their Monday would be impractical.

So the idea is to have the fight on Saturday in the UAE at a time which would be Friday night here.

Not a bad idea if its done that way.

I was wondering how that would work for us. So they gotta fight at like 9 am for it to go off at midnight eastern time in the U.S. lol. That's gotta suck for them. Unless they fight at like 11 pm their time and we get it at 2pm on a Saturday?

What time in uk?

[Randall Cunning]

What time in uk?

Itll be the same time as normal US fights, around 4-5am.

[Rip Chudd]

Works good for me, I'm 16 hours ahead of Vegas

Itll be the same time as normal US fights, around 4-5am.

Not if its 2pm American time.

[WesternChamp]

yall heard it here first. pac aint fighting khan next.

[Randall Cunning]

Not if its 2pm American time.

Aint gunna be 2pm in America, interview says itll be on a Friday in he US, Saturday in the UAE. Whatever time it is in UAE knock 4 hours off and thatll be the time in the UK.

[Mike D]

Yeah from what I gather it would be prime time in the US

Opening bell for the main event will be around what it normally is in the US

Only thing different is it will be on Friday instead of Sat.
