UFC 294 will take place abroad on Saturday which means there will be an early start time, so make sure you pay attention and calculate your appropriate time zone.

Headlining the card is a lightweight title fight rematch between champion Islam Makhachev and featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski who took the fight on 11 days' notice. In their first meeting, the fight went to a decision with Makhachev winning on the scorecards. Many felt that Volkanovski had won so it will be interesting to see if the rematch is any different.

Another short-notice re-do is the co-main event. Former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman steps in on nine days' notice to fight Khamzat Chimaev at middleweight.

But if you're here you probably already know all this and are trying to find a way to watch the fight without paying for it. We at FanSided MMA don't condone illegal streams but understand that not everyone can afford the hefty price tag of a UFC PPV. For those of you searching, try sites like crackstreams, streameast or Reddit.
