The odd timing is to fit U.S. TV schedules, with Fox screening the scrap between Anthony “Rumble” Johnson and Alexander “The Mauler” Gustaffson at prime time on a Saturday evening.

Apart from screening the ultimate fight across America, Fox estimated the bout to have a global audience of about 187 million households.
