For a typical big fight in the US that involves a UK star like AJ, the ring walks usually happen between 4:30 AM and 5:30 AM UK time. Yes, the milkman will be clocking in as you’re shouting at your telly. If you have a 9 AM work meeting, you are looking at a hero’s dilemma: skip sleep or miss the knockouts.
But here’s the kicker: this is never set in stone. A boring undercard fight that goes the distance? Add 20 minutes. A quick knockout? You might be watching at 4:10 AM instead. It’s like waiting for a bus that might also spontaneously turn into a fire truck.

Your soul leaves your body, but your eyes stay glued to the screen.
