Update: The next big UFC event is here. Check out our UFC Fight Night 174: Whittaker vs Till viewing guide
It's not cheap being a UFC fan. Tickets for fights typically cost well in excess of $100 each, and even staying home and watching pay-per-view broadcasts can set UFC Australia fans back a small fortune. However, there are other ways to watch UFC that won't break the bank, so let's break them down. Also see our UFC schedule to keep track of this years event.
Option 1: Live streaming UFC in HD with Kayo
Kayo Sports offers selected parts of all the UFC Main Events with replays available as well. This is thanks to Kayo Sports' access to ESPN content. In almost all cases these are the four fights that make up the Undercard, not the full evening's fightpass. (The Main Card can only then be watched through UFC Fight Pass and Foxtel Main Event.)
However, Kayo Sports does broadcast entire UFC Fight Nights (so, the alternate weekends from the main numbered UFC events). This comes with the services iconic features, including SpitView (watch four channels at once), No Spoilers (hide scores), Key Moments (a timeline of the biggest highlights of a match), Interactive Stats, choose your own camera and more, You can read all about it in our Kayo Sports review.
UFC on Kayo Sports works with Macs/PCs, iOS and Android smartphones and laptops, ChromeCast, Telstra TV, Android TV, Apple TV and Samsung TV (2018 or later). Subscribers get to choose between two price points - $25/month to be able to watch on two screens at the same time or $35/month to enjoy three simultaneous streams. A 14-day Kayo free trial is available for new customers, too, so you can check it out with ease.

Option 2: Live streaming UFC in HD with Foxtel
Foxtel broadcasts the same selected parts of UFC events, including live coverage of UFC Fight Night, as Kayo Sports.

Option 6: Watching UFC and MMA on free-to-air
In 2018 there was a landmark deal, whereby Network Ten got to broadcast two major UFC events live and free through the course of the year. As a side bonus, MMA fans could watch the new season of The Ultimate Fighter. All events were shown on the station's digital channel, One. The deal marked the first time UFC Australia fans could watch UFC or MMA events on free-to-air TV, but so far in 2020 another deal has not been announced. UFC Fight Pass and Foxtel Main Event retain control.

How do I watch free streaming ufc
If you make use of the free 14-day Kayo Sports trial, or the 10-day Fotel Now free trial, you can watch two weekends worth of preliminary UFC bouts for free. For some of the ESPN Fight Nights, that will also include the Main Card. However, for the tentpole numbered UFC weekends, there is no way to live stream the Main Card for free.
I would like to watch the main event ufc by streaming what do I do
Hi Filos,
As detailed in the article, you have five options to live stream UFC. However, only Main Event on Foxtel Now and UFC Fight Pass will allow you live stream all the battles in each UFC Fight Night. Other options, like Kayo Sports, only show the preliminary fights.
Cheers
