UFC pay-per-view tickets currently cost $79.99 per event on ESPN+ in the USA, with similar pricing on BT Sport Box Office (UK) and TNT/DAZN (other markets). One Numbered UFC event costs more than a full year of SMART OTT. We carry the international UFC broadcaster feeds — so every UFC PPV, every Fight Night, every Contender Series, and every prelim card is included in a single yearly subscription. Plus PFL, ONE Championship, Bellator (where still active), and Cage Warriors for the wider MMA scene.

Picture quality & reliability for sports
UFC PPVs are broadcast in 1080p HDR (standard) — selected events are produced in 4K HDR. SMART OTT serves the source quality. ESPN+'s UFC PPV is technically 1080p; international broadcasters sometimes have better feeds.
For PPV nights specifically, server load spikes globally around main-card start times. Infinity 4K's priority routing is meaningful here. Missing the championship round of a fight because of buffering is a worse experience than missing a Premier League goal — there's no replay highlight.
Plans & pricing
Both plans include all the sport channels above. Infinity 4K gets you the expanded 4K library and priority server routing during peak match times — worth the $20 difference if you watch live sports regularly.
