Besides official apps, there are also lots of unverified apps that can let you watch sporting events such as UFC 294 for free. However, these apps need to be used with caution.

⚠️Free Streaming Precautions

Free streaming apps do not own the content they provide access to, but neither do they host it. This means that when you use a free streaming app, you will be accessing streams hosted on various publicly available sites.

The problem is that these streams are not verified by the various apps, so some of them can easily lead to accessing pirated content. On top of that, some of the streams you may find on these apps may be blocked by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

👉 To avoid getting a copyright infringement notice or being blocked by your ISP, we advise that you use a VPN. The VPN will encrypt your activities to make them private, and it will also hide your IP address to make you anonymous.

✋ That said, you will also need to choose your VPN carefully.
