Curtis Blaydes is the latest to voice his issues with the odd start time for UFC 304.

Blaydes challenges interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall in the co-main event at UFC 304, which goes down on July 27 at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, England. While it marks the promotion’s return to the city after nearly eight years, the card has been scheduled for U.S. primetime. The UFC 304 early prelims kick off at 11 p.m. British Summer Time (BST) and the main card starts at 3 a.m. BST.

Blaydes claims the odd timing of the card makes it feel like a less of a title fight for him.
