UFC 258 returns to Sin City this Saturday. The main event will see former teammates Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns go head-to-head in what could swiftly become a Valentine’s Day massacre. The pair was originally due to face off last July, but Burns was forced to withdraw out following a positive Covid-19 test.
Usman (17-1) will be chasing the third defense of his welterweight title, which he won by ripping through Tyron Woodley back in 2019. If he defeats Burns, he’ll break the record for the most consecutive victories in the UFC welterweight division.
Brazilian hardman Gilbert Burns is no pushover. “During” (“little tough one” in Portuguese) crushed former welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley, himself last May and is considered one of the best just artists in the UFC.
The early prelims are set to get underway at 11.30pm GMT on Saturday, followed by the prelims at 1am and the main event at 3am. Anyone in the UK with a BT Sport subscription will be able to watch all of action for free including the main card. Otherwise, here’s how to find a UFC 258 live stream for free from anywhere in the world.

Even if you have subscribed to the relevant UFC rights holders, you won’t be able to access these streaming services when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
