Watch UFC on FOX with an antenna

Using a good old TV antenna could be the cheapest way to watch Saturday’s UFC fight. If you have one around your house, plug the coax cable into the antenna port in the back of your television. Then go into the TV’s menu and scan for channels. The scan may take a few moments, but you should know pretty quickly whether you get FOX. If you do, then you can watch the fight free in uncompressed HD quality.

If you’re thinking of buying an antenna, I recommend the ClearStream Eclipse indoor antenna. I use one at home and it gets me a wide variety of channels including FOX. Check to see whether you can get a decent signal for FOX by going to AntennaWeb.org. Need some antenna advice before the game? Read over my guide for selecting the best antennas for getting over-the-air (OTA) channels and DVR options.
