The Ultimate Fighting Championship is the world's foremost mixed martial arts promotion – now on Paramount Plus in the USA – a brutal sport that can make and break the toughest athletes on the planet. Almost anything goes around here, so follow our guide as we explain how to watch UFC live streams online from anywhere in the world, including numbered events and Fight Nights.

Arguably the most hallowed arena in all of sports, to say that the Octagon is not for the faint-hearted would be putting it lightly. Busted faces, broken bones and grisly wounds are par for the course, as the biggest names in the sport, from Conor McGregor to Paddy Pimblett.

Where to buy UFC tickets

The easiest way to purchase UFC tickets is by going through the UFC website. Tickets usually go on sale several weeks in advance, and the website also has a handy list of upcoming UFC events that you can browse here.

Alternatively, you can go directly to the ticket office of the host venue, or to third-party sellers, such as Ticketmaster or SeatGeek.

Where to buy UFC merch, gear and clothing

Now that UFC has resumed, MMA fans may be considering adding to or upgrading their merch collection - and we're pleased to say that the official UFC store is loaded with tempting swag. 

To absolutely nobody's surprise, Fight Island is the theme of the promotion's latest collection - yet much to our amazement, some of the new apparel that's on sale is actually fit to be worn in public. 

Recent additions include UFC-branded face masks, and best of all, you can save 10% on your first purchase just by signing up to the UFC email list - you've got a dummy address for this kind of thing, right?

Free shipping is available on orders over $75 and standard items should arrive within two weeks (international shipping times and taxes vary), so check out the UFC Store today.
