Set your alarms clocks for this week’s UFC Fight Night 34 event on UFC Fight Pass

If you’re planning to watch this weekend’s UFC Fight Night 34 event – the debut show on the UFC’s new digital network – and you’re located in North America, be sure to set your alarm clocks.

Saturday’s event at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore comes with an early-morning start time. The preliminary card kicks off at 6 a.m. ET (3 a.m. PT), and Friday’s weigh-ins kick off at 5 a.m. ET. (MMAjunkie will have live coverage throughout the weekend.)

The event’s main card and prelims both stream on UFC Fight Pass, the new online network that comes with a monthly $9.99 fee. For details about the online service, which includes a robust video library of past fights, check out our UFC Fight Pass feature. (The service comes with a free two-month trial period.)

Saturday’s event, which is the first on UFC Fight Pass, features a headliner between welterweight Hyun Gyu Lim (12-3-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and former Strikeforce champ Tarec Saffiedine (14-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC). Kim recently replaced injured Jake Ellenberger, who would have been one of the card’s more prominent fighters.

In fact, fight fans are likely to notice the card’s lack of recognizable names, but during Saturday’s unveiling of UFC Fight Pass, UFC executives Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta said it’s by design.

“There’s going to be big fights on this network, and there’s going to be fights with up-and-coming talent,” White said. “Nobody knew who Jon Jones was a few years ago. Nobody knew who Anderson Silva was. Where do you think these guys came from? You think every card is going to be headlined by huge superstars, but guys have to fight to become superstars.”

Fertitta said the events on UFC Fight Pass, which allow for start times better suited for the local markets, will usually feature headliners with fighters ranked in their division’s top 10.
