Daniel Cormier weighs in on UFC 304 late begin occasions
In a latest episode of Good Man/Dangerous Man with Chael Sonnen, Cormier weighed in on the unorthodox battle occasions for UFC 304.
“When persons are confronted with not possible odds, they have an inclination to search out methods to beat. That’s what occurred to me, and that’s what I feel goes to occur to those fighters,” Cormier stated. “I took sleeping tablets within the morning and stayed up all evening, by no means went to mattress. So I’m staying on American time as a result of I do know that I must deal with this as if I stay right here. You gotta acclimate to the place you’re in, and I feel it’ll be an element…
“It’ll be an even bigger issue for individuals who go later. Those that go on Tuesday of battle week, like regular, you gotta go [earlier]. Two weeks, that’s what we did in wrestling, and what I at all times did in combating once I was in a unique time zone…that’s methods to do it as if it’s occurring at a traditional hour.”
UK UFC followers have needed to put up with late begin occasions for years. Many of the UFC pay-per-views, particularly those who happen in america, start within the early morning hours in England.
Much like the excessive altitude in Salt Lake Metropolis, fighters might want to put together days upfront for the UK time distinction. If fighters comply with Cormier’s recommendation, they might deal with the immense jet lag appropriately.
