Another "UFC Fight Night" is scheduled for Saturday, February 2, with the much-awaited mixed martial arts rematch of Raphael Assuncao vs. Marlon Moraes as the main event.

There is only one option for how to watch Assuncao vs. Moraes 2: The ESPN+ streaming service has the exclusive broadcast of "UFC Fight Night" tonight. To watch the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) today, you must have a subscription to ESPN Plus, which is an online streaming service with special content that's not generally available on regular ESPN or other ESPN pay TV channels.

In other words, you cannot watch "UFC Fight Night" live on TV tonight unless you are streaming it through ESPN+.

The good thing is that you can sign up for a free trial of ESPN Plus and check out the service at no charge for seven days. The cost of ESPN+ is normally $4.99 per month — on top of whatever you pay monthly for ESPN and other channels in your cable, satellite or live streaming TV service. If you don't cancel ESPN+ by the time the seven-day trial ends, you'll be charged in full for the first month.

What else besides "UFC Fight Night" is on ESPN Plus? The streaming service, which can be watched via any connected device, including smartphones, tablets, web browsers, or smart TV, lets subscribers watch on-demand ESPN originals like the "30 for 30" series, plus a selection of live college sports, pro tennis and boxing matches, MLB, NHL, and MLS games, UFC exclusives, and more.

What Time Is "UFC Fight Night"?

The ESPN Plus live stream of UFC Fight Night begins at 5 p.m. ET on Saturday, February 2, with a series of preliminary fights.

The co-main event, Jose Aldo vs. Renato Moicano, will probably start at 10 p.m. ET or later, and it will be followed by the bantamweight main event, Assuncao vs. Moraes 2. All fights are being held in Forteleza, Brazil, and you can live stream the UFC fights on ESPN Plus in English or Spanish.
