MMA has grown in popularity over the last few years and now has a huge international audience. Below, we’ll let you know how to live stream UFC 299 outside the US.

UK

How to watch UFC 299 on UK TV

BT Sport is the current rights holder for UFC events broadcast in the UK, and has recently rebranded its online service to TNT Sports. You can grab an online pass on Discovery+ for GBP £29.99 per month. Unfortunately, though, this doesn’t come with any kind of a free trial.

UFC Fight Pass also lets you stream the prelims and early prelims live for £6.99 per month, with the main card fights coming two days later.

TNT Sports is only available in the UK, so you’ll need a VPN to get a UK IP address if you’re currently abroad.

Australia

How to watch UFC 299 on Australian TV

Australian fans can stream O’Malley vs Vera 2 on Kayo although it’s a PPV event which costs AUD $59.95. However, the good news is that you don’t need a separate subscription to purchase the PPV (this would otherwise cost $25 a month). Keep in mind that Kayo Sports is region-locked. To use it abroad, you’ll have to connect to an Australian VPN server.

Who is the favorite to win?

At the time of writing, Sean O’Malley is the favorite to win the rematch against Marlon “Chito” Vera. This is somewhat surprising considering that Marlon won their first encounter. In the first fight, O’Malley was still somewhat of an unproven force, and he was stopped by what many believe was a lucky kick to the calf.

Admittedly, for most of the first two rounds, Suga Sean was piecing Marlon up. O’Malley has excellent speed on the feet, and he is extremely good at moving in and out quickly. Most pundits agree that this technical ability is too much for Vera, and now that O’Malley has the belt – few believe that Marlon will be the one to take it away from him.

That said there are still some questions surrounding just how good O’Malley really is. There is no doubt that he had a relatively easy road to the belt, and if Chito performs at his best, he could easily win this fight. This might make some people fancy a bet on the underdog.

The rest of the card is stacked, but it is not a gambler’s UFC. Many of the fights are pickems that could go either way. Benot Saint-Denis is the favorite against Dustin Poirier, which is surprising. Gilbert Burns hasn’t fought in a hot minute and he is the dog against Maddalena, which seems fair.

Most exciting of all, MVP is finally in the UFC. However, nobody but Veronica Hardy seems too confident that he can bring his Bellator-proven dance fight to the UFC with success, that will be one to watch!

Still, in the unlikely event that your platform of choice realizes you’re using a VPN, you’ll simply be asked to turn it off. If you’re having difficulty securely streaming UFC abroad, you can always ask your VPN’s support team whether there’s a specific server that will work.
