UFC 300 in Texas: A Time Traveler's Guide (Probably)
So, you wanna know what time UFC 300 is in Texas? Well, buckle up, champ, because we're about to embark on a thrilling journey through the complexities of time zones. It's like trying to figure out which sock matches when you're in a rush – but with more testosterone and fewer laundry baskets.
The Great Texas Time Conundrum
Texas, being the massive, awesome state that it is, doesn’t just have one time zone. No, sir. It’s like Texas decided to mess with us and have two time zones. There’s Central Standard Time (CST) for most of the state, and Mountain Standard Time (MST) for a small western chunk. It's like trying to herd cats – or cowboys – and getting them all to agree on a single time.
UFC 300: The Time Warp
Okay, so let's assume you’re in the majority of Texas and on Central Standard Time. UFC 300 typically starts with the early prelims around 6 PM ET. Now, here’s where things get interesting. CST is one hour behind ET. So, if you’re doing the math (and let’s be honest, who does that when there’s UFC to watch?), the early prelims would kick off at a perfectly reasonable 5 PM CST.
But wait, there’s more! The main event usually starts around 10 PM ET, which translates to a slightly less reasonable 9 PM CST. So, you better stock up on energy drinks and snacks if you plan on making it through the whole night.
Mountain Time Madness
If you're one of the lucky few living in the MST part of Texas, you're an hour behind CST. So, the early prelims would start at 4 PM MST and the main event at 8 PM MST. You lucky dog, you get to enjoy the fights a bit earlier!
How to Survive UFC 300 in Texas
- How to avoid FOMO: Set multiple alarms. One for the early prelims, one for the main card, and one for when the pizza guy arrives.
- How to impress your friends: Learn the difference between a jab and a cross. Or at least pretend you know.

- How to prevent couch lock: Get up and stretch during commercial breaks. Or at least try to.
- How to avoid disappointment: Remember, even the best fighters lose sometimes. It's part of the game.
So there you have it. The lowdown on UFC 300 times in Texas. Remember, the most important thing is to enjoy the fights and cheer on your favorite fighters. And if you miss a round or two because you were busy refilling your beer, don't worry – we've all been there.
