The Ultimate Fighting Championship is the world's foremost mixed martial arts promotion, a brutal sport that can make and break the toughest athletes on the planet. Almost anything goes around here, so follow our guide as we explain how to watch a UFC live stream online from anywhere in the world, including numbered PPV events and Fight Nights.

Arguably the most hallowed arena in all of sports, to say that the Octagon is not for the faint-hearted would be putting it lightly. Busted faces, broken bones and grisly wounds are par for the course, as the biggest name in the sport, Conor McGregor, would testify.

When one beautifully timed strike or catastrophic lapse can decide a contest, belts change hands almost as quickly as the fighters exchange blows. Champions rarely stick around for long in this game, but every so often an all-time great forces their will upon the competition.

Anderson Silva, Georges St-Pierre, Jon Jones, Demetrious Johnson, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Amanda Nunes. these are the fighters everyone wants to emulate, but if prolonged greatness is rare, everyone's got a highlights reel of knockouts in their corner. 

For the events that matter most, follow our guide and find out the best ways to watch a UFC live stream wherever you are in the world. And for more like this, we have guides on getting a F1 live stream or Premier League live stream.

How to watch UFC PPVs in the US

ESPN Plus is also the only place to watch UFC in the US, and that goes for PPV events, too. Whether you already subscribe to the streaming service or not, you have to pay to watch every numbered event. And existing ESPN Plus subscribers have to spend $74.99 to watch UFC PPVs.

If you don't already have the service, then there are two options. Firstly, you can simply opt for the UFC PPV + ESPN Plus Bundle, that gets you both the next UFC PPV and a year-long subscription to ESPN+ for $99.98.

Or, for even more, you could choose the UFC PPV + Disney Plus/ESPN Plus/Hulu bundle for $88.98 that gets you the event together with a whole month of ESPN+, Disney Plus AND Hulu.

How to watch UFC Fight Nights in the US

Fight Night cards can be watched in full on ESPN+ without an additional PPV fee. ESPN Plus plans cost $6.99 a month, while the cost-saving annual subscription is priced at $69.99 a year. 

But for the ultimate value, there's the Disney Plus bundle. Grab a combined ESPN+, Hulu and Disney Plus package from just $12.99 a month with ads, which gets you loads of great entertainment and family-friendly content in addition to all that sports action.

Where to buy UFC tickets

The easiest way to purchase UFC tickets is by going through the UFC website. Tickets usually go on sale several weeks in advance, and the website also has a handy list of upcoming UFC events that you can browse here.

Alternatively, you can go directly to the ticket office of the host venue, or to third-party sellers, such as Ticketmaster or SeatGeek.

Where to buy UFC merch, gear and clothing

Now that UFC has resumed, MMA fans may be considering adding to or upgrading their merch collection - and we're pleased to say that the official UFC store is loaded with tempting swag. 

To absolutely nobody's surprise, Fight Island is the theme of the promotion's latest collection - yet much to our amazement, some of the new apparel that's on sale is actually fit to be worn in public. 

Recent additions include UFC-branded face masks, and best of all, you can save 10% on your first purchase just by signing up to the UFC email list - you've got a dummy address for this kind of thing, right?

Free shipping is available on orders over $75 and standard items should arrive within two weeks (international shipping times and taxes vary), so check out the UFC Store today.
