Why the unusual US afternoon start?
The card is hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan (UTC+4). UFC books the main event for prime time in the host country — roughly 1:30 AM local on the Sunday morning. That maps to 5:30 PM ET in the United States, which is a full eight hours earlier than a typical Las Vegas main event walkout. Think European football kickoff times, applied to combat sports.
