UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs Barber is set for Saturday, May 31, 2025, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main event has Erin Blanchfield taking on Maycee Barber in a flyweight matchup that could help decide who gets a shot at the title.

In the co-main event, Renato Moicano faces Paddy Pimblett in a lightweight fight that should be interesting to watch, especially with Pimblett taking on someone as tough and experienced as Moicano.

Chris Curtis will fight André Muniz in what could turn into a back-and-forth battle on the ground, Tracy Cortez will take on Miranda Maverick in another solid flyweight matchup, and Ian Machado Garry will go up against Bryan Battle.

How to watch UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs Barber with a VPN

You might run into geo-blocked websites if you’re trying to stream UFC Fight Night. Broadcasters often limit access to their streams based on the country you’re in, meaning your location determines which platform you can use to watch the fight.

A VPN helps bypass these geo-restrictions by allowing you to connect through a server in a country where the content is available, unlocking full access no matter where you are.

Here’s where UFC Fight Night is officially available:

• ESPN+ – only for viewers in the United States
• TNT Sports (via Discovery+) – only in the United Kingdom
• Kayo Sports – exclusively in Australia
• Setanta Sports – available in Ukraine and select Eastern European countries

If you’re currently in a region without official UFC coverage, you can still view the fights using a VPN. A VPN hides your actual IP address and allows you to connect to servers in other countries, which tricks streaming platforms into thinking you’re in a supported location.

How to stream UFC Fight Night with a VPN

1. Choose a reliable VPN. I recommend NordVPN for its stable performance and wide server selection
2. Install the VPN app on your preferred device (desktop, smartphone, tablet, or smart TV)
3. Connect to a server in the country where your preferred streaming service is available (e.g., an Australian server for Kayo Sports)
4. Log in to the streaming platform and enjoy the fight

Predictions for UFC Fight Night

This Saturday’s card is headlined by Erin Blanchfield vs Maycee Barber, and honestly, it’s one of the better women’s flyweight matchups we’ve seen in a while. Both fighters are pretty evenly matched, so the match will be gripping until the last minute.

Blanchfield is the more methodical of the two. She’s got great grappling, stays composed under pressure, and doesn’t take many risks. Barber brings a lot more chaos. She pushes the pace, throws with bad intentions, and has been improving each time out.

As for the rest of the card, Mateusz Gamrot should be able to smother Ludovit Klein with his relentless wrestling, even though Klein has the edge in striking. Zach Reese vs Dusko Todorovic feels like a coin flip, as both guys have power. Dustin Jacoby’s experience should be enough to outpoint Bruno Lopes over three rounds.
