The American audience often enjoys MMA and particularly UFC events on convenient Saturday evenings. The premier MMA organization operates out of the USA and the single largest chunk of fans also hail from the same country. However, the sport is growing at a rapid pace and passionate fans around the world tune in to watch UFC events.

European fans, in particular, have to struggle all year round to be able to watch their favorite fighters compete against each other. The UFC main cards usually kick off before the break of dawn in many European countries and the viewership speaks volumes about the dedication and commitment of European fans. UFC Fight Night 225 is taking place in Singapore on August 26.

Canadian MMA Journalist Aaron Bronsteter found himself in European fans’ shoes as the main card kicked off at 4:00 AM in the USA and Canada. He took to Twitter and admired the viewers from European countries that keep up with the UFC's schedule all year round.
