It’s been a very long time since a major UFC show was not on pay-per-view, but the 10-year drought will be over on October 30th. UFC 267 will be an ESPN+ card, as it’s one week before the blockbuster UFC 268 pay-per-view in New York. I stress this isn’t a free card, but as part of your standard ESPN+ subscription you’re getting a hell of an event.
The headliner at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi is a light heavyweight title bout between champion Jan Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira. In the co-main event, Aljamain Sterling defends his bantamweight title against Petr Yan, who lost his belt with an ill-fated illegal knee in a fight he was otherwise winning.
