Jon Anik weighs in on UFC 304 start time

Jon Anik recently weighed in on the start time for UFC 304, which is scheduled to take place in Manchester, England on July 27th.

The promotion has received plenty of criticism from fans as the main card is still currently scheduled to begin at 10pm ET, which means that it will begin at 2am BST. UK fans have voiced their displeasure regarding the start time because it could result in the atmosphere not being as lively as other events.

During the aforementioned episode, the UFC announcer, who was sporting UK fighter Arnold Allen's merch, mentioned that there are a number of factors and noted that he is hopeful that the promotion will consider an alternative. He said:

"Lot of masters to serve and pacify and feed, Kenny, right? But this is a tricky thing...I understand why this is happening in a timeslot that caters to the American audience, but I'm hoping that with this sort of momentum and venom and guys like Tom Aspinall talking that maybe the promotion will at least consider going 10[pm] in Manchester, because for those fans, man, it's asking a lot."
