Who's ready to see Nate Diaz take on Jorge Masvidal? The upcoming UFC 244 event is drawing near and it's also drawing in quite a buzz online, with people getting excited to see how the night ends.
Nate Diaz has people excited to watch the match. After all, it wasn't that long ago when he, along with Conor McGregor, held the record for the highest UFC pay-per-view buy rate for their UFC 202 meet-up from back in 2016. Nowadays, he's the 7th highest-ranking fighter in the Welterweight category.
For his part, Jorge Masvidal, who ranks third in the Welterweight category, holds the record for the fastest knockout in UFC history, as his competitor managed to stay on his feet for a full 5 seconds. He's had 47 pro MMA fights so far, so it's clear to say he knows what he's doing.
The winner of the Masvidal vs. Diaz fight will be awarded the newly created BMF title and rumor has it that The Rock will be present at the event to wrap the belt around the winner's waist. So, if you're a fan of Dwayne Johnson, there's all the more reason to watch the fight.
Although Diaz vs. Masvidal is certainly the star of the show, there are other fight cards scheduled for the night. Here's the list:
If you're planning to watch UFC 244 live online, like the rest of us, you should know the event starts at 10 PM EDT on November 2nd, which is a Saturday. The event is broadcast from the Madison Square Garden in New York.
The best place to watch the UFC event is on ESPN+. You should also know that the prelims (starting at 8 PM EDT) can be viewed on ESPN 2, and early prelims (starting at 6:30 PM EDT) can be viewed with the Fight pass.
We've all become so accustomed to watching a ton of content online, so it makes sense to also want to watch sporting events such as this one in the same manner. The UFC 244 is exclusively available on ESPN+, which means that there's not even an option to watch on regular TV. Here's what watching the fights will cost you:
If you're a new subscriber, you can get access to UFC 244 and ESPN's annual plan for only $79.98, which is 25% down from the regular $109.98. You should know that while you can usually enjoy a 7-day free trial on ESPN+ when you pick this offer, you waiver the trial period. Since the regular ESPN+ annual plan is $50, you'll be saving quite a bit of money.
If you're already an ESPN+ subscriber, you can get the UFC 244 and ESPN+ annual plan for the same price. But, you can also get UFC 244 separately for $59.99.
ESPN+ is quite the platform and it will give you access to a ton of content, both editorial, and video. On top of these, your subscription will also grant you access to exclusive events that we're sure you'll want to check out, especially since ESPN+ has exclusive rights to a lot of sports. Setting up your ESPN+ account only takes a couple of minutes and you'll then get access to a lot of content. You should also know that ESPN works on a wide range of devices, including Apple TV, Fire TV and Tablets, Android phones and tablets, iOS phones and tablets, Android TV, Roku, Samsung Smart TVs, Chromecast, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Oculus Go. You can also watch through the browser.
