UFC PPV: How much is Oliveira vs. Makhachev?
KSI fight – UK start time, live stream, PPV price, TV channel and undercard for Swarmz and Luis Pineda fights
KSI makes his big return to the boxing ring… and he’s fighting not once but TWICE.
The YouTube superstar’s original opponent Alex Wassabi had to pull out because of an injury sustained in his training camp, and instead he faces rapper Swarmz and then Mexican pro boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda on the same night.
KSI VS SWARMZ AND LUIS PINEDA: BEST FREE BETS AND SIGN-UP OFFERS
Wassabi wrote on Instagram to confirm he was pulling out: “With all these rumours going around, there’s only two things that are true.
“I’ve recently suffered a serious injury and I will be back very soon.
“You don’t play with concussions. New fight date announcement on the way.”
So KSI will face BOTH Swarmz and Pineda instead, and that’s despite Jake Paul’s calls for HIM to be chosen as the Brit’s next opponent.

Why is KSI not fighting Ivan Nikolov on Saturday?
Originally KSI was announced to fight pro boxer Ivan Nikolov as his boxing opponent in the secondary main event.
But Nikolov has since been pulled from the card and replaced by Pineda.
This is because Nikolov, 43, has been seen to have neo-Nazi tattoos, causing fan fury.
A “white power” tattoo is seen on his stomach and on his left forearm, Nikolov has a tattoo of the words “Blood & Honour”.
That is the name of a neo-Nazi skinhead group formed in England in the 1980s.
Also in between the words is a triskele symbol, a three-pointed swastika which was the logo for the group.
Nikolov also has a Schutzstaffel logo on his right arm, which was the police and military force of the Nazi Party, who pledged an oath of loyalty to Germany’s ex-dictator Adolf Hitler.
His neo-Nazi tattoos were pointed out by one of his previous opponents, Daniel Blenda Dos Santos, who slammed the boxer after winning their fight in April.
Dos Santos said: “When I saw his tattoos, some of them racist in nature, I wanted to hurt him.”
KSI, 29, responded to the allegations on his YouTube channel and confirmed Nikolov was replaced due to his tattoos.
He said: “He’s a white supremacist
“Ivan isn’t my opponent anymore. He has been removed.
“The matchmaker also got fired for allowing this to happen in the first place. But yes, my new opponent is Luis Alcaraz Pineda.”

What has been said?
“Just wanna say that at the end of the day, the one of the main goals of this first fight was to get rid of ring rust,” KSI said after the announcement.
“I wanted to prove to myself that I’m a better boxer than I’ve portrayed in the past. If you wanna see, fine.
“If not, fine. I’m still doing it anyway. There are still many good fights on this card that I’m excited to see.
“We are the only YouTube boxing event happening this summer.
“We’ve had many things try to disrupt this event but still we stand. This is a long term play, and I’ll happily take a small L now for a big W later.”
Jake Paul, however, has had a few things to say about the fight.
“KSI vs Swampz… Dod’t they have music together?” he wrote on Twitter.
“He’s fighting someone who has never fought before and that is his friend…
“This fight should for free.”

Save $20 on UFC 278 PPV with the Disney Bundle
TL;DR: Save $20 on UFC 278 pay-per-view with the Disney Bundle
MMA is one of the fastest growing sports on the planet and millions tune into UFC pay-per-view events. Since UFC inked an exclusive deal with EPSN+ however, the only way for MMA fans to catch the action is by signing up for the sports streaming service. The good news? Right now, you can score a knock-out deal when you get the Disney Bundle, which includes Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu.
When you bundle via this link, you’ll get $20 off the upcoming showdown — UFC 278, Usman vs. Edwards, this Saturday, Aug 20. After the discount, you can watch for $54.99 instead of the regular price of $74.99. With both contenders on a winning streak, it’s going to be edge-of-your-seat energy.
Act now to watch for less and enjoy the benefits of the Disney Bundle year-round.

The ‘ultimate’ triple threat
With the Disney Bundle, you get three streaming services for one monthly ($7.99/month) or yearly ($79.99/year) charge. You’ll save more than 25% for all three services together than you would if you subscribed to each one on its own and you’ll have access to the content you want, from new TV series to classic favorites, box-office smashes to live sports. Along with included content, you can pay a little extra to stream PPV events on ESPN+ (like the upcoming UFC 278 on Aug. 20) and Premiere Access on Disney+. Whether you live with sports-loving roommates or have kids, everyone is covered with the Disney Bundle.
Flexible watching wherever you are
It’s not just what you want to watch, but where you want to watch it. The Disney Bundle allows you to stream to up to nine devices simultaneously so your kids can be glued to a Pixar movie on their tablet while you’re deep into a new series in the living room. You can easily change, cancel, or upgrade your plan — even if you have a subscription to one of the services already. And just to sweeten the deal? If you have Disney+, ESPN+, or Hulu when you switch to the Disney Bundle, they’ll automatically adjust the pricing so you save on all three.
Simplify your streaming
You may have originally cut the cord to make your life simpler, but now even streaming is getting a bit complicated between different services and packages. For a tidy solution, the Disney Bundle is a one-and-done option with everything you need. Since you’ve already got a ton of usernames and passwords — and no one wants another for the list — when you sign up, your Disney+ details are the same for ESPN+. Each service has its own handy app which you can download to discover new programs and movies on Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu.
