How to Order UFC 268 PPV
If You Don’t Have ESPN+
You can buy a special bundle that includes a one-year subscription to ESPN+ ($69.99 value) and the UFC 268 PPV ($69.99 value) for $89.98. That’s work out to savings of $50 or about 36 percent:

However, with the amount of UFC (and other sports) content on ESPN+, most MMA fans are probably going to keep ESPN+ long-term, meaning the value of the bundle is the better way to go if you don’t already have ESPN+.

Additionally, if you only have ESPN+, there is also the option to upgrade to the Disney Bundle (ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+) and then purchase the PPV for $69.99:

UFC 268 Preview
Usman (19-1 MMA, 14-0 UFC) and Covington (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) will square off for the second time here, and there has been no shortage of drama leading up to Saturday’s rematch. The first time these two fought in late 2019, Usman broke Covington’s jaw — although Covington has not been acknowledging that fact in interviews this week.
“If he didn’t fake timeouts the first fight, I would have destroyed him,” Covington said. “It’s OK, better late than never. I don’t live in the past, Saturday night’s the future. I’m destroying ‘Marty Fakenewsman.’”
“Listen, if he’s saying that I was faking this or faking that to get out of the fight, but I didn’t,” Usman said in response. “I stayed in the fight and I broke your f***ing jaw.”
In another intriguing title defense on the card, women’s strawweight champ Rose Namajunas (10-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) will take on Zhang Weili (21-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC). This is another rematch, with Namajunas knocking Weili out with a just 78 seconds off the clock at UFC 261 in April.
“The majority of what I go into a rematch with is, ‘It’s a brand new fight,’” Namajunas said this week, via MMA Junkie. “I just have to be the best version of myself no matter what because anything is possible. Anything can happen so I have to be ready for everything.”
For the challenger’s part, Zhang has been training under Eric Albarracin, Eddie Cha and Henry Cejudo this year, and she thinks that could give her an edge this time around.
“The training in Arizona has really focused on mixing the different tactics that I have learned in the past and also added on new things.” Zhang said, via The New York Post.
