Zuffa is contemplating a new 9 p.m. ET PPV start time, one hour earlier than its traditional 10 p.m. kickoff and may even start the new change as early as its April 30 broadcast of UFC 129: "St. Pierre vs. Shields" from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada.

I like this idea. That way if I'm watching at someone else's house, I don't have to drive back home late.

I live on the east coast now, but Im moving out West in June, so the timing for this is a little off haha, would of liked this a while ago but now that I'm moving west the 7pm starts will be a little earlier than I'd prefer

Gotta say, I'm not pleased with this. When we have track meets 3 hours away every Saturday, it's nice to be able to come back to my room when we get back on campus at 10 or 11 and be in time for the last fight or two. Now there's no chance

No good for me because saturdays at 10 pm (Mexico time) I just finish working, so I arrive to home at 10:30 and I can see the co-main event and the main event.
With this when I arrive home the event will be already finished.

I have to work early mornings on Sundays so it works for me. Staying up to 11 PM is a bit late or me but still do able, staying up to midnight is just crazy.
