Alright, let’s talk about this UFC 309, when it’s gonna start and all that. You young folks with your fancy phones and whatnot, always asking when things start. Grandma’s here to tell ya, plain and simple.
So, this UFC 309, it’s a big deal, I hear. Got that Jones fella fightin’ that other fella, Miocic, or somethin’ like that. Sounds like a barn burner, the kind my old rooster used to put up when a fox got too close.
First things first, the early fights, the “prelims” they call ’em. They start early, real early, like when the chickens are just startin’ to crow. We’re talkin’ 6:00 PM Eastern Time, or 6:30 PM, depends on who you’re listenin’ to. You can watch ‘em on that ESPN+ thing, and Hulu too, I think. I don’t know much about these newfangled contraptions, but my grandson says it’s like watchin’ TV, but on your phone or somethin’. Imagine that!
Then there’s more of them prelim fights, a little later on. These ones start around 8:00 PM Eastern Time. You can catch these on ESPN News, ESPN+, and even FX. That’s a lot of places to watch fightin’, I tell ya. Back in my day, you had to go to the county fair to see a good scrap.
Now, the main event, the big shebang, that Jones versus Miocic fight. That’s the one everyone’s waitin’ for. That UFC 309 main card, it kicks off at 10:00 PM Eastern Time. That’s 7:00 PM if you’re out on the West Coast, where the sun sets later, I hear. You gotta pay extra for this one, they call it Pay-Per-View. Costs a pretty penny, somethin’ like $59.95, they say. Lord have mercy, that’s enough to buy a whole sack of feed for the chickens!
- Early Prelims: 6:00 PM ET or 6:30 PM ET on ESPN+ and Hulu
- Prelims: 8:00 PM ET on ESPN News, ESPN+, and FX
- Main Card: 10:00 PM ET (7:00 PM PT) on ESPN+ Pay-Per-View
Now, for you folks across the pond, in that UK place, things are a bit different. That main card, it’ll be startin’ real late for you, like 3:00 AM on Sunday morning. You’ll be up later than the owls!
They’re havin’ this whole thing in New York City, at that Madison Square Garden place. Big city, lots of noise, I bet. I prefer the quiet of the countryside myself, but to each their own, I say.
So, there you have it. All the start times for this UFC 309 thing. UFC 309 start time, that’s what you wanted to know, right? Don’t go missin’ your fights now, especially that Jones and Miocic one. Sounds like it’ll be a doozy. And remember, Grandma told ya when to tune in.
I don’t understand why folks pay so much money to watch other people fight. Back in my day, we fought to protect our land, or our chickens, or maybe just because someone looked at you sideways. But hey, times change, I guess. Just make sure you got your snacks ready and your TV set up right, or whatever it is you young folks use these days.
And another thing, this “Pay-Per-View” thing, it sounds like a racket to me. Paying all that money just to watch a fight on TV? In my day, you could watch a good fight for free, just by lookin’ out your window! But I guess that’s progress for ya.
Anyways, I hope I explained it all clear enough for ya. Sometimes I get to ramblin’, I know. But that’s just how we old folks are. We like to tell a story, even if it takes a little while to get to the point. The point is, UFC 309 is startin’ at different times dependin’ on which fights you wanna watch, and where you live. So, mark your calendars, set your alarms, and get ready for some fightin’!
And one last thing, don’t forget to eat your vegetables. Fightin’ is hard work, even if you’re just watchin’ it on TV. You need to keep your strength up, just like them fellas in the ring. Now, go on and enjoy your fights. And don’t stay up too late, you hear?
