Video – Fans take a colossal snooze at UFC 304

The start time for UFC 304 in Manchester, England caused some problems for fans in attendance.

The main card started at 3 a.m. local time due to the UFC wanting to keep the pay-per-view on normal American times. Due to the times, the local fans struggled to stay awake that late, as several videos went out showing fans sleeping during the event.
