The question that no one knows how to answer: What time is Topuria vs. Holloway and what about the Classic?
Know the exact time of Topuria vs. Holloway It is something that will be discovered as we go because predicting it has become a chimera. The journalist who writes this article, in fact, is at that point. He doesn’t know what to believe because the versions clash. Although the UFC, and the Topuria team (which obviously has direct communication with the organization) They were talking about the fight being between 11:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Spanish time… sources from ‘ESPN’ say it will be earlier, around 10:45 p.m. And all without taking into account possible previous KOs that accelerate the card.
This last option, the one that would lead to the simultaneous time of the stellar combat with the Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, is the one that is gaining strength… something that would prevent fans of both sports from being able to enjoy the two super events without missing any details. And a situation that, of course, as Ilia Topuria himself commented last Wednesday… he is not very happy about.
“Let’s see if I was wrong and, instead of having to knock out Max Holloway, I have to knock out the person responsible who scheduled that match at the same time, on the same day, as my fight when that was known a couple of months ago,” were the words of the ‘Matador’ on ‘Media Day’. And the debate began.
Let’s see if I was wrong and, instead of having to knock out Max Holloway, I have to knock out the person responsible who scheduled that match at the same time, on the same day, as my fight.
The Spanish player accompanied Ilia Topuria in the run-up to the UFC fight against Max Holloway.
Although Ilia was referring to the day in question and the almost simultaneity of the events, he was counting on them not to occur at the same time. He and his team have been in Abu Dhabi for two weeks preparing for the fight against Max Holloway at 1:00 a.m. local time (11:00 p.m. Spanish time)as a reference point for the start of the fight.
But as we say, this seems increasingly complicated… and that’s because The TVs lean on a ladder on which he will be leaving the locker room at 10:42 p.m. The Mariachi song plays, he arrives, they check that everything is fine, he enters the cage where Holloway is already waiting, Bruce Buffer presents… It could be a little longer, yes, but we would have to trust that Sánchez Martínez opts for a short addition at the Bernabéu.
What is clear is that the main card will start at 8:00 p.m. Spanish time and is made up of five fights. That is an absolute truth. And the package that the UFC sells to television stations at PPVs is 30 minutes per fight. That would take us to the predicted time. And it is, let’s repeat, thinking about fights that are resolved by decisions of the judges and not in KOs
Just in case, and for all the people who are in Spain, tune in to your televisions soon. The live broadcast of the preliminary card will begin at 6:00 p.m. on MAX. – Spanish peninsular time -, while the main card, whose main fight will star Topuria, will begin at 8:00 p.m.
