VIDEO: UFC 294 - Makhachev vs. Volkanovski 2 Live Stream Free (Watch Along)

Before the UFC 294 action begins, there will be a free live stream of the watch along.

The UFC 294 event will emanate from Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. There will be a highly anticipated title rematch, as well as a number one contender fight. Both bouts were booked on short notice, and some may argue that they are better than the original plans.

In the main event, Islam Makhachev will put his UFC Lightweight Championship at stake against Alex Volkanovski in a rematch. The two first met at UFC 284 back in February. It was Makhachev who emerged victorious via unanimous decision in a high-level, action-packed fight. Will history repeat itself? Can Volkanovski become a two-division champion?

The co-headliner will feature a high stakes middleweight clash. Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman will go one-on-one with Khamzat Chimaev. The winner of this bout will be granted a shot at the UFC Middleweight Championship. Sean Strickland is the current 185-pound titleholder.

Fans looking for a watch along stream before the ESPN+ PPV begins can end their search here. You can enjoy a free live stream of the official UFC watch along, featuring UFC Hall of Famer Jens Pulver and Viss. The watch along will begin at 1 p.m. ET, and you can watch the feed below:
