MMA has grown in popularity over the last few years and now has a huge international audience. Below, we’ll let you know how to live stream UFC 314 outside the US.
UK
BT Sport is the current rights holder for UFC events broadcast in the UK and has recently rebranded its online service to TNT Sports. You can grab an online pass on Discovery+ for GBP £29.99 per month. Unfortunately, though, this doesn’t come with any kind of a free trial.

Who is the favorite to win?
The main event at UFC 314 features featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski defending his belt against rising contender Diego Lopes. Volkanovski, one of the most dominant champions in recent UFC history, is currently the betting favorite at -190. Known for his cardio, fight IQ, and relentless pace, he’ll be looking to shut down Lopes early. Lopes, however, is far from a walkover – riding a wave of hype after back-to-back finishes, he enters as a +160 underdog with nothing to lose and everything to prove.
In the co-main event, fan favorite Paddy Pimblett steps into the Octagon to take on former title challenger Michael Chandler in a high-stakes lightweight clash. Chandler comes in as the favorite at -210, bringing explosive power and elite wrestling into the cage. Pimblett, often underestimated but unbeaten in the UFC, is listed at +175. His unpredictable striking and unshakable confidence could make this one far more competitive than the odds suggest.
