Alright, guys, so today I’m gonna talk about how I got into that UFC 306 stream.

First off, I knew this was a big deal – Sean O’Malley in the Sphere in Vegas? Had to see it. But here’s the catch: it’s a pay-per-view, so no freebies there. I wasn’t gonna miss this fight, so I started looking for options.
I remembered I have an ESPN+ subscription, which is pretty sweet because they show the prelims for free. So I fired up my laptop, logged into my account, and boom, there were the prelims, live and clear. I watched a couple of the earlier fights – good stuff, got me even more hyped for the main event.
- Logged into ESPN+
- Watched prelims for free
Now, while I was watching, I saw they were also showing the prelims on ESPNEWS. I thought, “Hey, maybe I can catch it on regular TV too.” I do have Fubo as well, and guess what, they have ESPNEWS, so I switched over to my TV.
- Checked ESPNEWS on Fubo
- Confirmed they were showing prelims
It was cool to have it on the big screen, but honestly, the main event wasn’t there. This was PPV, I knew it. Then I knew, it’s time to make the purchase. I went back to ESPN+ and paid for the PPV. Not the cheapest thing, but hey, it’s O’Malley, it’s the Sphere, it’s a whole event, right?
- Paid for the PPV on ESPN+
The whole process was pretty straightforward. ESPN+ is user-friendly, so no issues there. And let me tell you, the fights were worth every penny. The atmosphere, the energy, you could feel it even through the screen.

Key takeaway: If you’re an ESPN+ subscriber, you get those prelims for free, which is a great deal. And if you have Fubo, you can also catch them on ESPNEWS. But for the main events, be ready to shell out for the PPV. It’s how it is with these big fights.
So yeah, that’s how I ended up watching UFC 306. No regrets, it was an awesome experience. If you’re a fight fan, definitely keep these things in mind for the next big event. You don’t wanna miss out!
