UFC 286: Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman watch free online

Leon Edwards puts his UFC Welterweight Championship on the line against Kamaru Usman at UFC 286 to complete the trilogy and here’s how to watch free.

If there wasn’t bad blood between Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman before, there is now as they head into the third installment of their trilogy on Saturday, March 18 at UFC 286 in London, England.

Usman took a 19-fight winning streak (15 fights in the UFC) and five successful defenses of the UFC Welterweight Championship into their second meeting at UFC 278 in August 2022 (he won the first meeting with Edwards in 2015), but Edwards scored a knockout win with a headkick in the fifth round to take the belt off of Usman, thus setting up the trilogy.

The UFC 286 card will also feature a real proving ground for rapidly rising Rafael Fiziev as he faces feisty and always-tough veteran Justin Gaethje on the main card. Gunnar Nelson, Jennifer Maia and Marvin Vettori are also all in action in London on Saturday.

This is going to be a main event and full card that should be highly entertaining top to bottom as Kamaru Usman tries to get his title back from Leon Edwards. And we have what you need to watch the PPV.

FanSided certainly doesn’t condone any illegal streaming of UFC 286. However, with it being a pay-per-view event and times being tough, you may need to figure out how to watch the event on Saturday night to see Edwards and Usman settle the score in the Octagon.

If you look on Reddit at the r/MMA subreddit, many users will often posts links that can be helpful to stream. Outside of that, a Google search for what you’re looking for combined with terms like “streameast” “crackstreams” or something else might lead you in a good direction as well.

You’ve been warned, though, as ads and buffering can create a less-than-favorable streaming experience if you watch this way.
