What is UFC 261?

The Ultimate Fighting Championship or UFC is the biggest and most popular Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) platform globally.

What is Kodi?

Kodi is a free-to-use media playing software designed for compatibility with a wide range of devices. You can use Kodi to watch media stored locally on your device, from a shared network location or stream directly from the internet. Streaming, however, requires the use of third-party apps such as Venom or The Magic Dragon. The most significant advantage of using Kodi is that it is user-friendly and has a intuitive design.
