Watch the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)
Although there are plenty of other MMA organisations out there, there’s one that is the real pinnacle of the sport - the UFC.
That’s where the most famous fighters show off their skills in gruelling, punishing bouts inside the infamous ‘Octagon’ - an 8-sided cage that houses UFC competitions.

But it’s not the only way, and many people will be keen on watching other sports for their monthly subscription.
BT Sport
In the UK, BT Sport is rapidly becoming the home of fighting sports, with most major boxing and MMA fixtures being shown there. It's a great option to watch MMA.
BT Sport is available through both their website and app and is free if you already have the appropriate TV package at home. However, fights are Pay Per View (PPV) and are normally priced between £12 and £25. The app is available for iOS and Android devices.
Better yet, BT Sport can be included as an add-on to your Sky, Virgin, or PS4 package
Other fights can be streamed directly through Sky - or more specifically, Sky GO. Sky GO is their online/app-based streaming service and is also available via NowTV for short term passes. The app is available for iOS and Android devices and is easy-to-use.
