ESPN+
The only way to stream the fight is with an ESPN+ subscription. You'll also need to purchase either the single fight or a bundle to watch it online.

How to watch UFC 248 from anywhere with a VPN
In order to get around UFC 248's region locking on your Apple TV, you'll need two things. First, you'll need a VPN. This software will allow you to spoof your location data, fooling the ESPN app into thinking you're logged in from the United States.
ExpressVPN
No matter where in the world you may be, a VPN is one of the easiest ways to watch UFC 248. Get in on this deal now!
Second, because you cannot install a VPN directly on your Apple TV, you'll also need to purchase a VPN-capable router. We recommend the Linksys WRT AC3200 which sells for around $250 at Amazon.
