according to f4wonline.com...

UFC made the decision today that starting with UFC 141 on 12/30 that all PPVs will be moved back to 10 p.m. Eastern time from 9 p.m.  The 10 p.m. start had been part of UFC since the start of the Zuffa era, but Dana White made the call to move it up one hour.

I'd like an explanation.  I loved the 9 o clock start.

What??

I was also a fan of the earlier start times. UFC 136 lasted forever, by the time a long event like that goes over and my adrenaline goes back to normal its three in the morning.

It doesn't really effect me either way, but the article i read says they saw a drop in PPV buys since they moved it, plus the Facebook stream would start as early as 2:45 in some time zones.....
