UFC 261 has three big championship fights all in one night, so fight fans who also have the most popular streaming devices need to know how to watch UFC 261 on Roku. If you can’t get down to Jacksonville to see it live (or maybe we aren’t ready for that yet), it can be easy to set up your TV to stream these massive fights. If you want to watch UFC 261 on the greatest streaming devices, you can score an easy win with ESPN on Roku.
Roku devices come in a variety of price points and sizes. The Roku Streaming Stick+ is excellent, affordable, and small but any Roku will be able to stream the latest major night of MMA.
On April 24, UFC 261 is broadcasting a night filled with title fights live from the UFC APEX facility in Las Vegas. The Pay-Per-View Main Event features three championship fights, headlined by a title fight rematch from last summer.
Kamaru “The Nigerian Nightmare” Usman (18-1) is has become one of the highest regarded and most feared fighters in the UFC, and last summer he quite literally stomped all over Jorge “Gamebred” Masvidal (35-14). Last time, Usman used his weight, power and tons of foot stomps to dominate Masvidal, who couldn’t get in a strike or a takedown. Can Jorge come up with a new gameplan?
You can also see the Women’s Strawweight champion Zhang “Magnum” Weili (21-1) defend against “Thug” Rose Namajunas (10-4) and Women’s Flyweight Champion Valentina Shevchenko (20-3) take on Jessica Andrade (21-8).
