Find out what time the UFC’s first Singaporean pay-per-view event gets underway stateside.
The UFC is back on its regular pay-per-view schedule Saturday night (in the U.S.) as UFC 275 will play host to two championship fights from the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kellang. In the main event, Glover Teixeira and Jiri Prochazka will do battle for the light heavyweight strap. In the co-headliner, the flyweights shine bright, as Valentina Shevchenko takes on Talia Santos for the belt.
With many international UFC events, the time change is also a big concern for fans stateside, sometimes having to watch early-morning or afternoon cards. For this card, however, fans will be treated to a regular start time at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m PT with Midwesterners having their regular pay-per-view start at 9 p.m. CT. The prelims are tentatively scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT on UFC Fight Pass and ESPN+
If all goes according to plan, expect Teixeira and Prochazka to make their walks to the Octagon around 12:30-12:45 a.m. ET, which equates to 1:30-1:45 p.m. in Singapore the following afternoon, Sunday, June 12.
What are the stakes in the UFC 275 main event?
For Teixeira, this is the first defense of his light heavyweight strap, as he took the title from Jan Błachowicz in Oct. 2021 via rear-naked-choke in the second round in the main event of UFC 267 while on Fight Island. With the win, Teixeira is now the oldest active UFC champion at 43 years-old.
In the blue corner, Prochazka enters his title shot having won 28 fights in 34 appearances. His lone UFC win came against former two-time title challenger Dominick Reyes, as he delivered a highlight-reel KO to close the deal in May 2021.
With a lot on the line in Singapore, a win for Prochazka could usher in a new era at 205 pounds, while a win for the Brazilian could re-solidify that age doesn’t matter when you’re a professional athlete.
Only time will tell on fight night, as the UFC began its stretch of 10-straight weekends of cards June 4.
UFC 275: Glover Teixeira vs. Jiri Prochazka takes place on Saturday, June 11, 2022, live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Follow along with FanSided MMA for all your news and highlights.
