It's only the second UFC match of 2020, but UFC 247 is shaping up to be a real nail-biter. The headlining fight will see Jon Jones, a nearly-undefeated champion fighter, go up against up-and-comer Dominick Reyes, who's yet to suffer a single loss. It's anyone's guess who's going to come out on top — all we can say is that this is a fight you do not want to miss.

And with the ESPN+ app and a Roku device, you don't need to miss it. Here's how you can watch the UFC 247 PPV event on your Roku.

How to watch UFC 247 outside the U.S.

Given that ESPN+ region locks its content, you might think there's no way to watch UFC PPV on your Roku if you're outside the U.S. You'd be wrong. You just need two things: a VPN, and a VPN-capable router.

This allows you to trick applications on your network into thinking your devices are logged in from a specific geographic location. That, in turn, allows you access to content that would ordinarily be region-locked. We've included our recommendation for a router and VPN below.
