Some of them are easy, while others require a little more work on your part. Furthermore, with strong geographical restrictions in place, many viewers will require the use of a VPN to spoof their location. Pay-per-view Options The heavyweight champion of premium sports media delivery has long been the pay-per-view model. While there are costs involved, paying them is the only hurdle to jump in order to watch UFC 217 in stunning high definition. Below are three popular viewing options for you to consider. Method 1 — Pay-per-view from Your Cable or Satellite Provider If you have cable or satellite TV service and if your provider offers pay-per-view content, chances are they will be offering UFC 217. Most mainstream American cable and satellite providers offer it. It will cost you about 60 dollars for the right to watch the event. It is expensive but, if your provider offers it, it certainly is the easiest way to watch this event. And it will likely give you the best quality and viewing experience.
