UFC 286 Main Event Start Time: What Time Will Leon Edwards vs Kamaru Usman 3 Begin?
UFC 286 main event start time: When will Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman enter the octagon?
As per the official UFC website, the main card will begin at 9 PM GMT. And there are four fights on the undercard. So considering each fight goes the distance, and with the breaks in between each fight, the main event will approximately start an hour and a half after the first fight on the main card. Therefore, Edwards vs Usman 3 will begin at 10:30 PM GMT.
Thus, for fans in the US, this means they can catch the main event live at 3:30 PM PT/ 6:30 PM ET on Saturday, March 18. Therefore, it is not the most ideal time as fans in the US are used to watching the main event a little later on Saturday night.
However, UK fans will prefer these timings. This is because, for most UFC events, fans in the UK have to stay up till the early hours of the morning to watch the main event. Therefore, this change in timing could increase the viewership numbers.
