UFC 93: Afternoon Delight
Cage Writer —
UFC 93, taking place in Dublin, will air at 3 p.m. ET this Saturday, a full seven hours before fight fans are accustomed to watching events.

College football is over, the NFL will play only on Sunday, the NBA has one game and that's at 7:30. Though there are several hockey games, none will be broadcast nationally. The only real competition is college hoops. -- It's ...
