How To Watch Ufc 279 Diaz Vs Ferguson At A Massive Discount

Streaming UFC pay-per-view events in the U.S. can be very expensive. Fans looking to stream UFC 279 will have to cough up $75 on top of their $9.99 monthly ESPN+ subscription. Luckily, using a VPN can give you a more pocket-friendly option (less than $20 per month) to stream UFC PPV events. Here’s how: Diaz’s original, heavily-favorited opponent, Khamzat Chimaev, failed to make weight by 7.5 lbs, jeopardizing what was likely Nate Diaz’s final fight for the MMA promotion. UFC president Dana White did some high-stakes, down-to-the-wire shuffling of the main card, pulling up the co-main event’s Ferguson as his replacement. While the main event is now Diaz vs. Ferguson at welterweight, Chimaev will face Kevin Holland in the co-main event at catchweight. In further shuffling of the top three bouts, Li Jingliang will now face Daniel Rodriguez, also catchweights. The main card is slated to begin at 10 PM (EST). While some fans are furious at the switch-up, others are ecstatic to see two UFC veterans Diaz and Ferguson finally go toe-to-toe. Regardless, fans in the U.S. will have to fork out $75 to watch UFC 279. This doesn’t include the $9.99 ESPN+ monthly subscription. New subscribers will have to pay $99.98 at the very least to watch UFC 279. On the other hand, fans in other countries, like Japan, have a much better deal. We’ll show you how a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can let you stream UFC 279 for under $20.

How to Live Stream UFC 279: Diaz vs. Ferguson for Under $20

Depending on where you are in the world, the cost of streaming a UFC PPV differs. In Japan, fans can purchase a premium UFC Fight Pass subscription for under $20 a month, which includes all the PPV main cards. However, if you try to access the Japanese UFC Fight Pass website from outside the country, you will receive an error message, or be redirected to a different version of the page. Websites, such as UFC Fight Pass, check your IP address to determine where you are located. If you’re outside its licensed region, it will block access to the website or redirect you to a local page. Here’s where a VPN comes in. A VPN allows you to change your IP address, making it seem like you are located in the region of your stream. This way, you can make use of Japan’s UFC Fight Pass package to watch UFC 279 for under $20! It is the perfect tool to help you save money on subscriptions. Here is an easy guide to setting up a VPN and watching UFC 279 at a huge discount.

Step-by-step guide: Watch UFC 279 Diaz vs. Ferguson at a huge discount

Where Can I Watch UFC 279 Diaz vs. Ferguson?

Thanks to the UFC’s strong fanbase all over the world, there are plenty of broadcasters and streaming services that carry UFC events. Here’s a list of channels and streams that carry UFC events, many without pay-per-view fees. However, it may not be easy to set up an account with just a VPN. Plus, your home payment method may not work. If you do have a subscription to one of the providers, simply match the VPN server to the country to access your account.

Where Can I Watch the UFC 279 for Free?

Unfortunately, we looked around and found that there is no way to legally watch UFC 279, or other UFC pay-per-view events, for free. However, you can try your luck with some non-official sports streaming sites, but be warned, not all the content on here is legal. We do not condone copyright infringement, and always recommend using streaming services with legal licenses. Unofficial sites can also pose security threats, as many sites have invasive pop-up trackers, and redirects to suspicious websites. If you decide to try your luck, we recommend using a VPN for security and privacy protection. A good VPN masks your true location and encrypts your internet traffic. This way, no one can make sense of the websites you visited, or the content you viewed or downloaded. Not even your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or malicious hackers.

Can I Use a Free VPN to Watch UFC 279?

We do not recommend using a free VPN to stream UFC 279. The best free VPNs can be useful in some situations, like protecting yourself while using public Wi-Fi in airports, hotels, or cafes. However, free VPNs have a number of shortcomings, which do not make them a good option to stream UFC 279, or any live sports. Here are a few reasons why:

Limited servers options: As we explained earlier, you’ll need to connect to a server in Japan to watch UFC 279 at a discount. Unfortunately, most free VPNs have limited server options, which are often restricted to a single region. Overcoming the UFC’s VPN blocks: The UFC website is notorious for detecting VPN servers. It even blocks access to several premium VPNs which have excellent obfuscated servers. Only ExpressVPN was able to access the Japanese UFC Fight Pass without any trouble. Most free VPNs do not have the resources to bypass even the simplest VPN blocks. Privacy concerns: Some free VPNs are known to have questionable privacy practices, such as maintaining user activity logs. Furthermore, they often lack the advanced encryption security protocols of their premium counterparts.

UFC 279 Odds: What to Expect

UFC president Dana White had to do some serious card shuffling that would impress even the best dealers in Vegas. One day before their major PPV, the top three fights on the main card had been completely scrambled. On paper, the original main event seemed like a monumental mismatch anyways. The oddsmakers had the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev as an overwhelming favorite (-1150) over Nate Diaz (+750). This was to be the last fight on Diaz’s UFC contract, and many pundits and fans alike agreed the 37-year-old had been thrown to “The Wolf” on his way out. But Chimaev missed weight by a jaw-dropping 7.5 lbs at Friday’s weigh-in, coming in at 178.5 lbs for a 171 lb fight. Diaz declined — quite understandably at that — to fight the heavily-favorited, overweight opponent, potentially scrapping what was likely Nate Diaz’s final fight for the UFC. Since all three of the main card slots’ fighters were closer in weight class, White pulled up fellow crowd pleaser Tony Ferguson to take up the feature. Ferguson was originally slated to face Li Jingliang at 170.5 lb in the co-main event. Many fans — and likely the fighters themselves — would say the Diaz vs. Ferguson matchup makes much more sense, considering the veterans have never faced off in all their years in the UFC. Oddsmakers have also reflected this, just putting a light +110 dog tag on Diaz. In the co-main event, Chimaev now goes up against Kevin Holland, who weighed in at 179.5. The undefeated Chimaev is ranked No. 3, and is heavily favorited at -550 going against his new unranked opponent. Bumped to the third fight down, Li Jingliang will now face Daniel Rodriguez. With Jingliang weighing in at 170.5 and Rodriguez at 179, a huge weight differential remains for the pair.
