UFC 261: Usman vs Masvidal 2 – Watch the fight for free worldwide!

Tomorrow the highly anticipated rematch between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal finally takes place. The UFC 261 main event bout will determine the real 170 lbs kingpin and promises to be nothing short of spectacular.

The main card starts at 10 pm ET and 7 pm PST and also features other exciting fights, such as the bout between UFC veterans Uriah Hall and Chris Weidman and the exciting women’s matchup between China’s first UFC champion, Weili Zhang and Rose Namajunas. To make things even better, this card features a grand total of 3 title fights!

Despite this being such an exciting card, you might not be willing or able to fork over a minimum of $69.99 for it, depending on your ESPN subscription. Fortunately, you don’t have to! After all, you can watch UFC 261 for free thanks to two great services: A VPN and a Dutch streaming service that broadcasts all UFC events for free.

Watching UFC 261 for free

As mentioned above: there is a Dutch streaming service, called Kijk.nl, which broadcasts all UFC events for free. What they do is completely legal, since the company they are part of, Talpa, paid for the UFC broadcasting rights in the Netherlands.

Unfortunately, this streaming service is often blocked for users outside of the Netherlands. Or at least, many of its broadcasts, including UFC events, are. This is because Kijk.nl doesn’t have the rights to broadcast these events outside of the Netherlands. Fortunately, you can easily get around this geo-block by using a VPN.

Using a VPN to unblock free UFC 261 streams

Most streaming services, including Kijk.nl, determine your location based on your IP address. Fortunately, this unique address which identifies you as an internet user can easily be “transformed” into a Dutch IP address with a VPN, giving you access to the free UFC 261 Kijk.nl stream!

This works regardless of whether you’re in the US, Canada, UK, Japan or any other country. The VPN will simply reroute your data traffic through a Dutch VPN server to change your IP address to a Dutch one.

The VPN that we recommend for this purpose is NordVPN. After all, this VPN offers great streaming speeds and we tested it to make sure it’s compatible with this method (which it is). Follow our easy step-by-step guide below to use NordVPN to watch UFC 261, and any other UFC events, for free. Don’t worry, you won’t need any Dutch language skills to use this method!
