What time do UFC fights start?
UFC fights do not all start at the same time, as it depends on the event location and scheduling. Each UFC numbered event and Fight Night features prelims and a main card, which take place in that order. Numbered events also boast early prelims bouts. As their names suggest, early prelims and prelims are the fights that take place before the main card begins.
While many main cards begin around primetime ET in the U.S., that scheduling can change when events are held internationally, so be sure to check the schedule for any fights you want to watch.
