Michael Bisping, the winner of Season 3 of The Ultimate Fighter a former UFC champion, recently spoke about the main event fight of UFC 275
“For Glover, all he’s got to do is come out and stay on American time. You know he lives on the East Coast [so] he’s got to stay on California time, which you can do, try to sleep all day stay up at night, that type of thing.
“Either way it’s going to be a challenge, but the reality is and I’ve done it myself multiple times either super late or super early in Australia.
“Once that cage door closes and the adrenaline kicks in and you’ve had an early night whichever way round it is, it doesn’t matter if it’s six o’clock, midnight, it doesn’t matter.
“When you’re in the middle of the UFC octagon and you’ve got a world-class opponent that’s going to try and smash your face in and you’ve got 20,000 people watching? Believe it or not, you’re up for the challenge.”
