Live American sporting events generally take place between noon and 10:30 p.m. ET, at least via start times. It’s not too often that U.S. bettors can wager on something with an American interest in the middle of the night or very early morning Eastern time unless it’s an international event like the Presidents Cup (last week), World Cup, Olympics, Australian Open, etc.

Which brings us to the UFC Fight Night card this Saturday as the organization visits Busan in South Korea with a main event that will begin at 5 a.m. ET from Sajik Arena. The card is headlined by a featherweight bout between Frankie Edgar and Chan Sung Jung, better known as “the Korean Zombie.” It’s the first-ever UFC card in Busan but second in South Korea.

Edgar and Sung Jang were supposed to fight in November 2018 at a UFC Fight Night event in Denver, but Edgar had to withdraw due to injury. Sung Jung originally was to fight Brian Ortega on this card, but Ortega withdrew earlier this month with a knee injury.
