The UFC Welterweight Championship is on the line as current champion Kamaru Usman faces off against former interim champion Colby Covington, but there’s a huge fight involving Aussie Alexander Volkanovski just before it. Check out The Roar’s handy guide to getting on a UFC 245 live stream, or watching the event on TV.
The headline act sees ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ Usman (15-1-0) face off against Covington (15-1-0), who has become something of a villain in the UFC circles for his controversial outspoken nature and his passionate, arguably obnoxious, support of Donald Trump.
For Aussie UFC fans however, the focus will be on the penultimate fight featuring Australia’s own Alexander Volkanovski, as he looks to win the UFC Featherweight Championship off Max Holloway.
The main card is scheduled to begin at 2pm (AEDT) on Sunday, December 15. The main event is the third and final fight on the list.
Your only option to catch this fight on TV is Foxtel’s pay-per-view service, Main Event. Their coverage includes the entire main card – including Volkanovski’s fight – and begins at 2pm (AEDT). If you purchase the fight, which costs $54.95, you’ll also have access to replays at 8pm on Sunday, 2am on Monday morning and 11pm on Monday night.
To access Main Event, you need valid Foxtel subscription. Again, the fight costs $54.95 in addition to your normal Foxtel subscription costs.
If you’re after pre-fight coverage, you can get it through ESPN2 (Foxtel channel 510). UFC 245 Countdown begins on UFC2 at 9:30am (AEDT), followed by UFC Fight Camp at 10:30am, UFC Fight Night Pre-Show at 11am and coverage of the preliminary fights at 12pm. ESPN2 does not have coverage of the main card, however.
If you’re looking to stream the main card of UFC 245, you’ll need to do it via UFC FightPass. FightPass lets you buy the Usman-Covington fight for $54.95, or you can purchase a monthly subscription for $10.99 that gives you access to all live UFC events.
You will be able to stream ESPN2’s pre-fight coverage and the preliminary card through Kayo Sports, a streaming service that gives you access to Foxtel sporting content on desktops, tablets and phones for $25 a month.
If you already have a Foxtel subscription, but can’t get to a TV, you can access ESPN2’s content through Foxtel GO.
Main Event is one of the few Foxtel services not available via any of their affiliated streaming services.
The Roar will, of course, keep you covered with highlights and talking points.
