Here is how you can stream UFC 264 live without the use of Reddit Streams or Buffstream
UFC 264 is fast approaching and there are hardly two days before the event gets underway.
The fight is headlined by a lip-smacking contest between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. The pair are set to faceoff in a trilogy bout, with the winner probably getting to fight for the lightweight title.
The entire card is stacked as well. In the co-main event number 5 ranked welterweight Stephen Wonderboy Thompson takes on his number 2 ranked counterpart Gilbert Burns.
Many believe this would be Thompson’s key to his fight against welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.
The main card also sees up and coming bantamweight star ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley square off against Kris Moutinho, who stepped in to face O’Malley on short notice.
There are two other action-packed bouts in the main card as well. In a heavyweight bout, Tai Tuivasa of Australia takes on Greg Hardy.
The only women’s fight in the main card is between Irene Aldana and Yana Kunitskaya.
UFC vet Carlos Condit is sidelined to the prelims card. He will be taking on Max Griffin in a welterweight clash.
Niko Price features in the prelims card as well, he will be taking on Michel Pereira.
Main Card
Preliminary card
You might not want to get in trouble by streaming the fights illegally, otherwise UFC President Dana White will catch you colder than a polar bear’s toenails.
Reddit streams or Buffstream are all illegal but there are other UFC streaming options which are paid or free, depending on your location.
UFC Fight Pass
One of the best live streaming platforms is UFC’s very own UFC Fight Pass. The subscription costs around $9.99 a month, with the yearly subscription costing $95.99. The only drawback here is the fact that they provide live streaming only until the prelim card.
UFC Fight Pass does not provide live streaming of the Main Card.
ESPN+
ESPN+ is considered to be the best option available for streaming the UFC fights live. Right from the early prelims to the main card, ESPN+ has got you covered. The subscription costs around $6 per month or $60 per year, which is pretty reasonable.
And, ESPN+ exclusively streams the main card and PPVs. So, ESPN+ is a must for all fight fans.
Fubo TV
Fubo TV is quite new to the streaming scene, especially when it comes to mixed martial arts. They offer two plans that include ESPN. Family Plan – 100 channels at $65 per month and Elite Plan – 150 channels at $80 per month.
BT Sport
BT Sport is a major player in the European region, especially in the United Kingdom. UFC streaming can be caught live at BT Sport Box Office and on the BT Sport App. The subscription costs 15 euros per month. The PPV is expected to cost around 20 euros.
Sling TV
Sling TV is another network that provides ESPN. They offer two plans, Orange and Blue. Orange costs $35 per month and the Blue plan costs $50 per month. Both the plans offer ESPN.
Sony Sports Network
Specifically, in South Asian countries, Sony Sports Network have become streaming behemoths. They have several channels in their network and a dedicated Sony LIV app that can be availed at Rs.299 per month or Rs.999 per year.
The fight fans here need not go through the hassle of subscribing to UFC Fight Pass or ESPN+.
There is no clear favourite for the fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. And hence, certain sites have Poirier as the favourite and a few going for McGregor. It is that close.

Sean O’Malley is the overwhelming favourite with odds of -800 in his favour. Moutinho is the clear underdog with odds of +550.
