How to live stream UFC 270 without PPV in Europe

As we say, you're kind of stuck if you're in the US. It's PPV or bust.

Not so in Europe - probably because it's on during the middle of the night! Instead, it's sports streaming specialist DAZN that has the rights.

So if you're a UFC fan in any of Austria, Italy, Germany or Spain, then get yourself over to the DAZN website.

Although the DAZN free trial has now been consigned to history, watching UFC on the service in Europe is still much more reasonable than other parts of the world, with monthly plans starting at €14.99.

Who is Ciryl Gane?

Having won all ten of his previous pro fights, seven of which have been within the Octagon, Ciryl Gane's ascent up the ranks has been as rapid as it has been flawless.

With a Muay Thai background that has instilled him with a varied strike style, Gane is often a patient fighter that can fall back on his sheer athleticism to grind his opponent down.
