Y’all remember back when Dana White told fans they aren’t supposed to watch all of the cards the UFC has to offer? That some cards were made specifically for the region they take place in? This would be one of those cards he’s referring to. Given the prelims begin when those in North America are sleeping soundly in their beds, there can’t be any doubt about that. The problem with Uncle Dana’s logic is growth in Europe wouldn’t have been possible without the fans willing to stay up into the wee hours of the morning to watch the massive cards the UFC puts on that cater to the North American audience.
