Although it’s only January, the rematch between the Diamond (Poirier) and the Notorious (McGregor) might well be one of the most exciting fights of this year. Of course, you want to watch the fight live and see for yourself whether Poirier’s machine gun-like volume punching or McGregor’s sniper left hand will be the deciding factor in this scrap. However, not everyone is able and willing to pay for the $70 UFC 257 pay-per-view. If you’re one of those people, here’s some good news: thanks to a free streaming service based in the Netherlands and VPN-technology, you can watch the fight for free! Don’t worry, it’s super easy and no Dutch language skills are required. Below we’ll tell you exactly how it works.
Watch Poirier vs McGregor 2 for free with a VPN
There’s a free Dutch streaming service called Kijk.nl, which broadcasts all UFC events. This streaming service is affiliated with the network which owns the UFC rights in the Netherlands (Veronica), so is completely legal to use. Normally, however, this service is only available in the Netherlands. Fortunately, people from the US and other countries can easily get access to this service by using a VPN. After all, a VPN can reroute your internet traffic through a server in the Netherlands. This will change your IP-address to a Dutch IP-address. This way you can get access to Kijk.nl and watch UFC 257 without buying the expensive pay-per-view! Below you’ll find a super easy guide that explains step-by-step how to use a VPN to watch UFC 257 for free.
