Time zone notes
UK and European viewers should plan for an overnight watch — main event walkouts after 4:00 AM local time on Sunday morning. Australian viewers see the main event mid-afternoon Sunday. For broadcast availability in your region, see the how to watch UFC White House guide.
Fight durations and pacing
The seven-fight format runs roughly 3 hours 45 minutes if every bout reaches the cards. Historically, UFC PPV broadcasts trend 12–18% under their projected runtime because of stoppages. Plan for the main event 15–30 minutes earlier than the estimate above if early finishes pile up.
