How you can watch this weekend’s UFC 247 on Amazon Fire TV
This Saturday, February 8, the mighty Jon Jones will go up against powerful up-and-comer Dominick Reyes. Although Jones is arguably one of the best UFC fighters of all, Reyes has a number of strengths that directly counter Jones's weaknesses. In other words, it'll be an exciting fight - and one you definitely want to see.
As with all major UFC events, UFC 247 is pay per view, available exclusively through ESPN+. The good news is that ESPN+ is easy to install. Even better, it works incredibly well with Amazon Fire TV.
Whether you have an Amazon Fire TV Stick, the Fire TV Stick 4K, or the Fire TV Cube, here's how you can watch UFC 247.

How to watch UFC 247 outside the U.S.Unfortunately, because ESPN+ region locks UFC PPV content, there's no easy way to watch it on your Amazon Fire TV if you're outside the U.S.. We're not saying that it's impossible, mind you. Only that it's challenging.
The first thing you'll need is a VPN account. This allows you to trick the ESPN+ application into thinking you're watching from the United States, giving you access to all the content that entails. Of course, given that you can't use a VPN on your TV, you'll also need a router that supports internal VPNs.
