Or, if you want to purchase them separately, you can first subscribe to a month of ESPN+ right here ($4.99 for ESPN+, or $12.99 for a bundle of ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+), and then follow the below directions for existing ESPN+ subscribers.
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+.

UFC 250 Preview
The headliner will feature the best female fighter alive. Nunes (19-4), also the bantamweight champ, has won her last 10 bouts and is the heavy favorite to successfully defend her women’s featherweight title. Spencer (8-1) is coming off a win against Zarah Fairn Dos Santos in February. She wields a wicked rear-naked choke, and her scrappiness will be an asset, but she should have her hands full with Nunes, who has been unstoppable of late.
In other key bouts, former champion Cody Garbrandt will square off against Raphael Assuncao in a bantamweight showdown. Garbrandt has dropped three straight fights, while the 37-year-old Assuncao has lost two in a row, so it will be interesting to see who ends their respective skid here.
Aljamain Sterling and Cory Sandhagen will square off in what could very well determine who the next challenger for the Bantamweight Championship will be. Sandhagen has won seven straight fights, while Sterling has defeated Brett Johns, Cody Stamann, Jimmie Rivera and Pedro Munhoz in his last four bouts. It should be one of the more difficult fights to predict on the card.
Yet another bantamweight bout that should be fascinating to watch unfold will be rising star “Sugar” Sean O’Malley (11-0) against veteran scrapper Eddie Wineland (24-13-1) The as yet-undefeated O’Malley has no shortage of confidence despite going up against a far more experienced fighter.
“He’s an extremely dangerous opponent and I respect him, plus I know that with those little gloves, anything can happen,” O’Malley said about his upcoming fight against Wineland. “But I plan on going in there, knocking him out, and not getting hit; that’s how high-level skilled I am. I have extremely good defense. I have extremely good timing, footwork, and accuracy. It’s a dangerous combination all of the things I can do. He’s a perfect step up for me and I’m excited to test his chin…I’m in a perfect spot, fighting the exact opponent I’m supposed to be fighting.”
