As confirmed by the official UFC FIGHT PASS schedule, the Prelims for UFC Vegas 66 are set to start at around 9 PM GMT on Saturday, December 17th 2022.
The official UFC site notes that the Main Card is then expected to be starting at around midnight on Sunday, December 18th 2022.
It’s worth noting that the start time for the Main Card is an estimate as it all depends on how long the Prelims fight card actually goes on the night itself.
If every bout on the Prelims goes to the judge’s scorecards, then there is a chance that the Main Card could be starting later than anticipated. Having said that, midnight seems quite late, so there’s even a chance that the Main Card starts beforehand as we cannot see the Prelims going for three hours on the night.
