Okay, so I’ve been waiting for UFC 308 for a while now. I mean, Topuria versus Holloway? That’s a fight you don’t want to miss. But here’s the thing, I’m in Sweden, and figuring out the start time was a bit of a mess at first.
First, I checked the usual places, you know, the official UFC site and some sports news sites. They kept throwing around times like 10 am ET and 2 pm ET, which, don’t get me wrong, is great for the folks in the US, but it didn’t really help me much here in Sweden.
Then, I dug a little deeper and found out that the event is actually happening in Abu Dhabi. That made things a little clearer because now I had a time zone to work with. I knew the main card was set to start at 7 pm BST. So, I grabbed my phone and used the time zone converter to figure out what that meant for me.
- Looked up BST to my local time: Turns out, BST is just one hour behind Sweden.
- Calculated the start time: If the main card starts at 7 pm BST, that means it starts at 8 pm here in Sweden. Perfect for a Saturday evening!
- Checked the prelims: The prelims start at 3 pm BST, so that’s 4 pm for me. That gave me time to grab some snacks and get ready.
Finally, I made sure I knew where to watch it. It is streaming on ESPN+, so I had to make sure my subscription was active. It also mentioned something about PPV, so it is a good idea to double-check that too.
Here’s what I did:
- Checked my ESPN+ subscription: It was active, but I made a note to check for any PPV details closer to the date.
- Set a reminder on my phone: I set one for the prelims at 4 pm and another for the main card at 8 pm. No way was I missing this fight!
So, yeah, it took a bit of digging, but I finally figured out that UFC 308 starts at 8 pm Sweden time on Saturday, October 26th, with the prelims kicking off at 4 pm. Now, all that’s left to do is wait for the fight night and enjoy the show! I hope this was helpful to anyone else in Sweden who was as confused as I was.
