With a bill that’s being heralded as being 30 years in the making, UFC 300 is finally here with a lineup of fights befitting the event’s landmark status.
Saturday’s much-anticipated main event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas sees Brazilian star Alex Pereira attempting to defend his light heavyweight title against former champ Jamahal Hill.
Hill will be determined to win back the title he was forced to vacate his title last year after sustaining an Achilles tendon injury.
The 36-year-old Pereira was the main beneficiary of Hill’s bad luck, with «Potan» stepping up to claim the vacant belt by overcoming Czech fighter Jiri Prochazka in November, in turn setting up the perfect headline act for what is set to be an historic night for the UFC.
The co-main event meanwhile sees reigning female strawweight champ Zhang Weili put her belt on the line against No. 2 ranked contender Yan Xiaonan, with the fight marking the first time two Chinese fighters will vie for a UFC title.
Before that comes the first title fight of the night as Justin Gaethje takes on Max Holloway, looking to defend the BMF belt he dramatically claimed at UFC 291 last July against Dustin Poirier.
With no less than 12 current or former champions on the bill, it’s an event no MMA fan will want to miss. Catch all the octagon action live from Las Vegas by following our guide watching UFC 300 no matter where in the world you are.

In the US, if you want to watch UFC 300, you’ll find the fight night only on pay per view through ESPN Plus. The cost structure is a bit confusing, but here are the options to watch UFC on ESPN, according to ESPN’s site:
- Existing annual ESPN Plus subscribers can order the upcoming UFC card for $80.
- New ESPN Plus subscribers can buy a bundle of UFC 300 PPV event (streaming in HD) and an ESPN Plus annual recurring subscription for $135. This is a decent deal. The ESPN Plus annual ESPN subscription will auto-renew after one year, at the price of an ESPN Plus annual subscription at the time of auto-renewal.

If you find yourself unable to view UFC 300 locally, you may need a different way to watch the octagon action — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. With a VPN, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN» target=»_blank, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop, allowing you to get access to those US, UK or Australian viewing options for UFC 300 listed above from almost anywhere in the world.

Quick tips for streaming UFC 300 using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming UFC 300 may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the «search for city or country» option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
