The stage is set for UFC 321 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi — and you can watch all of the preliminary fights without spending a dime.

As usual, you cannot legally stream the main UFC 321 fight card for free anywhere (although starting in 2026, that option will be available via Paramount+ ). That’s even trickier now with the shutdown of StreamEast. It is exclusively a pay-per-view event. But the event is more than just the five main card fights.

Just a couple of months after Paramount reached an eye-popping seven-year, $7.7 billion media rights agreement with UFC to broadcast all of the promotion’s fights to an American audience, the two sides are expanding their relationship globally.

In the headliner, heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) puts his title on the line against challenger Ciryl Gane (13-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC). In the co-feature, Virna Jandiroba (22-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) meets Mackenzie Dern (15-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) for the vacant women's strawweight title.

The deal builds on the seven-year, $7.7B U.S. deal inked in August to include streaming rights in Latin America, inclusive of Brazil, as well as Australia.
