Friday Morning VIOLENCE!!!!!!!!

@Gio I converted the billed (on the poster) 3:30pm AST starting time to ET, and then it says 14:30pm ET.
I looked up the stream though, and that one says the event starts in exactly 20 hours, which is in line with the 7:30am ET starting time you mentioned.
Do you know which time is right?

I think 'AST' in the poster meant 'Arabia Standard Time' which is UTC+03, not Atlantic Standard Time (AST) which you are pointing out.

According to ONE's website, it's still 7:30AM ET, 4:30AM PT

Anyways, goodluck on your countryman RDR @BoxerMaurits!

My offering to the JBG

 

[BroRogan]

@BoxerMaurits Perfect time for us Euro folks and nice way to slide into the weekend

 

[SpecialAgentFoxMulder]

Did I see this will be on Prime Video in the USA, or did I totally make that up?

Edit: in case other people see this first, it looks like it will be.

I just saw BFO uploaded the odds on this one. Maybe that's where Dillygoat got them. Nonetheless, thanks for putting it in the OP bud
