Online streaming has been slowly supplanting cable and satellite television packages for almost a decade now, but until recently, sports fans still had to rely on traditional TV subscriptions due to various broadcasting restrictions. Thankfully, that’s now changing, with services like DAZN offering online-only alternatives that are a breath of fresh air for cord-cutters – especially those who love MMA and boxing. DAZN is also the best (and only) way to stream Bellator online — including today’s Bellator 228— and we’re here to show you how.

Bellator, along with UFC, is one of the largest mixed martial arts promotions in the world, hosting regular events that feature some of the top professional fighting talent from all over the world. And with big fights like Henderson vs. Jury and Pitbull vs. Archuleta coming down the pipe, now’s the time for MMA fans and cord-cutters to sign up for DAZN.

DAZN is somewhat similar to ESPN Plus in that it’s a premium service for streaming sports and related entertainment, but whereas ESPN Plus is more of an add-on to the broadcaster’s regular cable/satellite content, DAZN is a standalone app. DAZN has partnered up with various boxing and MMA promotions including Bellator in order to bring these live fights and more right to your phone, tablet, computer, or other capable streaming device.

Your DAZN subscription gives you full access to all Bellator MMA events, and you can watch them both live or on-demand at your leisure. You can stream DAZN on a wide array of different platforms: The mobile app is available for both iOS and Android devices, and DAZN is also compatible with smart TVs, streaming devices like Roku and Google Chromecast (among others), modern web browsers, and the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 gaming consoles.

If you just want to give DAZN a spin or prefer the flexibility of a month-to-month payment plan, then the DAZN monthly subscription rings in at $20 per month. However, you can save a lot by signing up for the annual plan, which comes to just $100 per year (or only a little more than $8 per month). This allows you to stream Bellator fights as well as events from a number of other MMA and boxing promotions any time, anywhere, with no additional pay-per-view fees required.

YouTube is reworking the Home page with Custom Feeds and quicker access to Subscriptions
Saved Custom Feeds are rolling out as YouTube also experiments with a redesigned Home navigation bar.

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.

EXCLUSIVE: How Klara and the Sun warns of a future where humans compete with AI
What Does Klara and the Sun Say About the Dangers of AI?
Jenna Ortega stars in Klara and the Sun.

Artificial intelligence has already changed people's lives, both at home and at work, but what happens when people start treating AI as a replacement for their loved ones? Filmmaker Taika Waititi explores this terrifying idea with his new sci-fi movie, Klara and the Sun. Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, the film follows Klara, a solar-powered "Artificial Friend" played by Jenna Ortega, as she bonds with Josie, a sick teenager.

Klara and the Sun paints an unusual, unsettling portrait of a world with AI. Essentially The Wizard of Oz meets Blade Runner, Waititi's dystopian film is filled with his brand of vibrant visuals and quirky humor. But beneath all that, the film tells a deeper, more serious story about AI and whether it can cause the downfall of society and human connection.

Spotify has kicked 50 million AI slop tracks out of your recommendations
Spotify is cleaning up your music recommendations, and AI-generated spam is finally getting the boot.

Finding new music on Spotify is one of those little joys that can turn an ordinary day around. You play a song you love, let the recommendations take over, and occasionally stumble upon an artist you wish you’d discovered sooner. But with AI making it ridiculously easy to produce music in bulk, not everything landing in your recommendations deserves a listen.

Spotify knows this is becoming a problem, and it’s acting on it. The streaming giant has revealed it filtered more than 50 million spammy, low-quality tracks from its recommendations this year. That’s on top of another 75 million tracks it has completely removed from the platform for repeatedly or seriously breaking its rules. And Spotify isn’t stopping there — it wants to make sure actual artists aren’t buried under an endless stream of AI-generated content.
