UFC 253 Live Streaming PPV Fight Free

UFC 253 Live Streaming: You have to give it to the UFC. The promotion has pulled off this 2020 concept of “Fight Island” remarkably well, and I’m not just referring to stringent COVID-19 measures.

The UFC’s pay-per-views this year on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, have offered a lot. From the “BMF” champion taking a title fight on six days’ notice at UFC 251 in July to now a middleweight title fight between two undefeated stars in Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa — one can’t ask for much more in terms of storylines and visuals.

The UFC returns to “Fight Island” with UFC 253, which is scheduled to feature two championship bouts. In the main event, Israel Adesanya will defend his middleweight title against Paulo Costa. Also, Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz will fight for the vacant light heavyweight championship.

And while the Kamaru Usman vs. Jorge Masvidal main event in July turned into a bit of a dud in the cage, the middleweight main event of UFC 253 on Saturday really should be anything but. Just the visuals of a “skinny” Adesanya squaring off with a hulking Costa this week on an Abu Dhabi beach — this fight was made for a place called “Fight Island,” and it should deliver.

This matchup has felt inevitable, at least to me, since mid-2018, when I watched Adesanya (19-0, 8-0 in the UFC) size Costa up at UFC 226 in Las Vegas. Adesanya was granting interviews backstage when Costa came back following his victory over Uriah Hall. Adesanya wouldn’t take his eyes off him, although I honestly don’t think Costa (13-0, 5-0 UFC) even noticed at the time.

I remember thinking the two should fight back then as rising contenders, but the UFC let them both work their way up independently. That proved to be the right call, as we will now see only the second men’s title fight in UFC history between a champion and challenger both with perfect records.

The matchup has taken on a personal undertone in recent years, which has generated some trash talk, but the real “beef” here from my perspective is simply that two guys recognized early on they were going to fight one day, and have kept an eye on one another as they’ve risen through the ranks.

And honestly, that to me is one of the best beefs that exist in MMA. A fundamental disagreement — You’re doing well for yourself, but I’m better. Don’t forget that.

As much fun as Masvidal’s late arrival to Abu Dhabi was in July, this main event — a matchup that’s been years in the making — should eclipse it in terms of what we get on fight night. And while the storyline in the co-main is also intriguing — our first look at a post-Jon Jones light heavyweight division, in a title fight between Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz — I really do believe Izzy vs. Costa has a chance to be the fight we remember most when we look back on this “Fight Island” chapter in UFC history.
