Alright, so I wanted to watch UFC 299, O’Malley versus Vera 2, but I didn’t want to, you know, pay the full price. I’m a bit cheap, I admit it. So, I started digging around to see if there was a way to watch it without emptying my wallet.
The Hunt Begins
First, I just did a simple search. Just typed in something like “watch UFC 299 free” into the search bar. I knew it was a long shot, but hey, you gotta start somewhere, right?
I skimmed through some of the results, but honestly, most of it looked kinda sketchy. I’m not trying to get a virus on my computer, so I was super careful about what I clicked on.

Diving a Bit Deeper
I knew the official way to watch it was through ESPN+ because I read that somewhere. From my memory, ESPN+ has the exclusive rights and that’s the only place to watch it legally in the US. I also remembered something about the prelims being on UFC Fight Pass earlier, and then ESPN later on. So, I knew where it should be, but that wasn’t the route I was going for this time.
The Real Search Started
I kept searching and, I am going to be honest it was a little difficult, you know?
I eventually landed on a site and that seemed to be working, but there was a lot of pop up, which was annoying to say the least.
I finally figured out and got the stream running.
The Result!

So, there you have it. That’s how I ended up watching UFC 299 . Not the most glamorous way, I’ll admit, but hey, it worked!
