How to watch UFC 247 Prelims online & without cable

Your night of MMA won't be complete without these four big fights preceding the Jones-Reyes PPV.

It's time for the UFC to have another event, as UFC 247 takes center stage this weekend in Houston. While the main event is a Pay-Per-View, the UFC 247 Prelims are going to be available on a cable broadcast channel. However, that doesn't mean that CordCutters are left outside the cage.

You can get the UFC 247 Prelims easily on a variety of services, including with a free trial of Hulu. It is important to remember that the UFC 247 Prelims are not includuded with ESPN+ or your purchase of the Pay-Per-View event. You need to have some way to access ESPN's flagship broadcast channel in order to see these fights. But you won't need to swap apps on fight night.

You can stream the entire night of fights easily in the ESPN app, using your Live TV streaming service login along with your ESPN+ account. This will give you access to the UFC 247 Prelims, and it will unlock other ESPN channel content in the app. Plus, you can take your app to the next level by adding on the UFC 247 Pay-Per-View featuring Jones vs. Reyes.

What is UFC 247?

UFC 247 is the latest marque MMA event from the biggest promotion in the sport. UFC 247 will broadcast live on Saturday, Feb. 8 from the Toyota Center in Houston. This will be a split-broadcast event available with cards on ESPN+, ESPN and PPV, so you will need multiple subscriptions and logins to see everything in the ESPN app.

The Early Prelims come first at 6:15 p.m. Eastern on ESPN+. At 8 p.m., the Prelims are exclusively on ESPN. Finally, the Main Card will be on at 10 p.m. as a PPV via ESPN+, headlined by Jones vs. Reyes.

How to stream the UFC 247 Prelims even if you're outside the United States

You could be excited for the entire UFC 247 event, but all that might go out the window if you are going to be outside of the United States. Streaming U.S. based sports, including UFC, can be difficult if you're outside of the country even if you subscribe to the right services. That's because streaming services often block their feeds if you're not in America. However, your streaming subscriptions don't have to be useless.

One way to get things working like normal is to use a VPN, which is short for "Virtual Private Network". It sends your internet traffic through a specific set of servers, then pops it back onto the internet in the United States. A VPN can also give you peace of mind on open WiFi connections, because a VPN secures your traffic against snoopers on any network.

UFC 247 Prelims — Giles vs. Arroyo Preview

The feature fight for the UFC 247 Prelims will be between Trevin "The Problem" Giles (11-2) vs. Antonio Arroyo (9-3). These two Middleweights are outside of the top 15 UFC rankings, but both are relatively new in the UFC. This is a chance to see two fighters battling for a chance to make a name for themselves, and a move into the listed ranks.

Giles has four UFC fights so far, after starting his career 9-0 under other promotions. However he's coming off of a rough 2019, going 0-2 with losses to more experienced fighters. Arroyo lost his last fight as well, which is his only UFC fight so far. However, fans may know him from Dana White's Contender Series, as he fought and won in both the 2018 and 2019 series.

Originally, the UFC 247 Prelims had a different feature fight scheduled, but the Men's Bantamweight matchup between Jimmie Rivera and Marlon Vera was cancelled. Jimmie Rivera suffered an undisclosed injury that was reported sometime last week. MMAFighting.com reported that UFC looked for a replacement to face Vera, but now that fight has been completely removed from the card. A fight from the Early Prelims between Miles Johns and Mario Bautista was moved up to the Prelims to keep the card a full four fights.
