UFC News: Boost For European Fans As Dana White Makes Exciting Announcement For Huge Upcoming Fight

 

UFC fans in Europe would have been delighted with a promise made by Dana White this week, as he revealed that the upcoming fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje would be taking place during ‘European prime time’. The announcement was warmly received by the millions of MMA fans on the continent.

It would certainly be a welcome piece of news for fans of the MMA in Europe as it means that they will no longer have to wait up until the middle of the night in order to watch the eagerly anticipated bout live.

Typically, the biggest fights on the UFC calendar take place at difficult times for Europe, with fans in the United Kingdom often having to stay up until 4 am in the morning to watch the biggest stars.

UFC News: New Time Slot For UFC Action

It is a huge statement from White, which indicates that he has been listening to the concerns that European fans have when watching the UFC.

Carlos Contreras Legaspi claimed that the event will be taking place at a different time slot that will ensure that the fight will be taking place in the early evening in Europe, while North American fans will be able to watch the bout in the afternoon.

The huge fight for the lightweight title is scheduled to happen at UFC254 at Fight Island 2. This huge fight is certainly growing ever closer, with the fight scheduled for the 25th October.

It will be the first time that Khabib will be in the octagon since the death of his father, and his first time since beating Dustin Poirier at UFC 242 back in September last year.

UFC News: Huge Excitement For Fight

It certainly promises to be one of the biggest fights of the year in UFC, with Gaethje enjoying a huge victory earlier in the year to become the interim lightweight champion. Gaethje was written off by many ahead of his UFC 249 bout with Tony Ferguson in May, but he stunned the heavy favourite to win by TKO in the final round.

This will be a bigger challenge for the 31-year-old as Khabib has been irrepressible since arriving in the UFC. It should be a captivating night of UFC action, with both men likely to look for the big KO/TKO finish.
