UFC 253 live stream: how to watch Adesanya vs Costa (and full card) in the US

The UFC is taking things back to Fight Island this weekend, with a long-awaited Israel Adesanya vs Paulo Costa main event. The stage is set for a night of explosive action and we're showing you exactly how to live stream UFC 253 online and watch Adesanya vs Costa and the rest this weekend. 

UFC 253: Adesanya vs Costa live stream

With no in-person spectators, UFC 253 will take place to hit US primetime broadcast slots despite taking place on Fight Island (Yas Island, Abu Dhabi). The main card is expected to begin at around 10pm ET / 7pm PT - and and American readers wanting to cut to the chase need only know that ESPN+ will be the place to watch the fight.

Adesanya and Costa both want this fight, and they both want that belt even more. Both these contenders are facing an all or nothing result, with the loser walking away with their first loss and the winner taking the middle-weight championship title. Adesanya has gone 8-0 in his UFC career, with Costa trailing with a 5-0 record, but both also hold no losses in MMA terms either.

That makes for a stunning matchup, and one that will see Adesanya's striking prowess go up against the previously unbreakable power of Costa. One's quick, the other's big, and this is exactly where middle-weight matchups are at their finest.   

Costa has stepped up to this challenge, and is looking to bring down the UFC's new poster child with an early wall of brute force. The 185lb Brazilian contender has been ranked second in the middle-weight class since March 2020, so there's never been a better time for the Adesanya vs Costa matchup to take place.

But that''s not all UFC 253 has in store, as the light heavyweight belt is also up for grabs when Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz go toe-to-toe for the empty slot.
