Derrick Lewis is looking for redemption. After being choked out by heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier in the main event at UFC 230 in November, the so-called “Black Beast” will face Junior dos Santos at UFC Fight Night 146. It’s a heavyweight matchup worthy of a pay-per-view event, but you can actually watch it for free.
After signing a massive, five-year deal last year, ESPN is now home to UFC Fight Night events, most of which broadcast exclusively on the network’s new streaming service, ESPN+, which you can try out with a free one-week trial.
Dos Santos (20-5-0), a former UFC heavyweight champion with victories notched against Cain Velasquez, Shane Corwin, and more, holds an advantage by most statistical measures. But one should never underestimate Lewis (21-6-0, 1NC), who has the ability to stop fights with sheer blunt-force trauma. The main event card will also feature Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos vs. Curtis Millender in a welterweight bout. In the prelims, former UFC Women’s Featherweight Championship challenger Yana Kunitskaya faces Marion Reneau in a bout that was originally scheduled for UFC 233.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the UFC Fight Night 146 live stream from Wichita, Kansas, for free.
