How to watch UFC 284 live stream in USA
UFC 284: Makhachev vs. Volkanovski is a numbered event, which means – you guessed it – it’s a pay-per-view. In the US, ESPN+ is the only platform where you can watch UFC PPV events live. ESPN’s premium streaming service currently costs $10 a month or $100 a year, while the price of UFC pay-per-views just received another price increase and is now at $80 a piece lies. It’s getting more and more expensive to be a UFC fan, but the good news is that as a new subscriber, you can sign up for a one-year ESPN+ membership and get your UFC 284 PPV ticket for $125. This one time deal offer amounts to a savings of $55.
Numbered UFC events almost always feature championship fights on the main card. At stake for UFC 284 is the hard-fought lightweight championship, a belt that has changed hands several times since undefeated former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov retired and vacated the belt. This is the first title defense for champion Islam Makhachev (23-1), who formerly trained under Nurmagomedov and won Charles Oliveira’s gold at UFC 280. Current UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski (25-1) is fighting for the title. If Volkanovski wins, he will be inducted into the coveted ranks of two-division champion, and he will become the first to wear both the lightweight and featherweight belts.
For the co-main, the UFC has put an interim featherweight title on the line, pitting Yair Rodriguez (15-3) against Josh Emmet (18-2). Regardless of the result of Makhachev vs. Volkanovski, it seems the featherweight champion’s next fight is very likely to be a unification bout against the winner of the UFC 284 co-main event.
