Filipino fight fans now have a new destination for UFC action.
Disney+ is officially the home of UFC in the Philippines, giving local viewers access to live events from one of the biggest mixed martial arts organizations in the world.
Kicking things off is UFC FIGHT NIGHT®: ALLEN vs. DUNCAN, streaming live from the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. The prelims begin at 5:00 AM PHT, followed by the main card at 8:00 AM PHT.
At the center of the event is a high-stakes middleweight clash between Brendan Allen and Christian Leroy Duncan, two fighters entering the Octagon with plenty to prove.
Brendan Allen Looks to Move Closer to UFC Gold
For Brendan Allen, the mission is clear.
The seasoned middleweight contender enters another main event with his eyes firmly fixed on the championship picture. Already battle-tested against some of the division’s toughest competitors, Allen knows that an impressive victory could strengthen his case for a future title opportunity.
His experience, submission skills, and ability to stay composed in demanding situations have made him one of the middleweight division’s most dangerous names.
Now, with another spotlight moment ahead of him, Allen has the chance to remind fans why he remains firmly in the conversation among the division’s top contenders.
Christian Leroy Duncan Steps Into His Biggest UFC Opportunity Yet
Standing across from Allen is Christian Leroy Duncan, a dynamic middleweight taking on his first UFC main event assignment.
It is easily one of the biggest opportunities of his career.
Duncan has built a reputation around his athleticism, creativity, and confident striking. Against Allen, however, he faces a proven contender with significantly more experience at the highest level.
That contrast makes the matchup particularly intriguing.
For Duncan, a victory over Allen would represent a major breakthrough and could immediately raise his profile within the division. For Allen, it is an opportunity to stop the momentum of a hungry challenger while continuing his push toward UFC gold.
With both men chasing something significant, the stakes could hardly be higher.
Matheus Camilo and Jai Herbert Bring the Heat in the Co-Main Event
The action does not stop with the headliner.
In the co-main event, Matheus Camilo takes on Jai Herbert in a lightweight contest that promises intensity from the opening bell.
Camilo has made his intentions perfectly clear with one memorable statement: “I come for violence.”
That aggressive mindset could make for an explosive matchup against Herbert, who is looking to secure back-to-back UFC victories and continue climbing the lightweight ladder.
Herbert brings length, striking experience, and plenty of motivation into the contest. Another victory would give him valuable momentum in one of the UFC’s deepest and most competitive divisions.
Camilo, meanwhile, will be looking to make an unforgettable statement of his own.
Put them together, and the co-main event has all the ingredients for a crowd-pleasing battle.
UFC Action Has a New Home on Disney+
The arrival of UFC on Disney+ gives Filipino fans another major sports offering to watch on the streaming platform.
With live UFC events now available through Disney+ in the Philippines, subscribers can follow marquee matchups, rising contenders, and some of the sport’s biggest moments from one platform.
With Brendan Allen looking to move closer to a title opportunity, Christian Leroy Duncan stepping into his biggest UFC assignment yet, and Matheus Camilo and Jai Herbert preparing for a hard-hitting co-main event, UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Duncan offers plenty for fight fans to look forward to.
And now, with Disney+ becoming the official home of UFC in the Philippines, Filipino audiences have a new way to experience every punch, kick, takedown, and dramatic finish.

To celebrate the impressive milestone, Disney+ Philippines is giving fans an even closer look at the Eastern Empire with an all-new special look featurette premiering exclusively on the streaming platform later today.
A Closer Look at the Stars and Story
Set to premiere on Disney+ at 3:00 PM Philippine Time, the featurette includes never-before-seen footage and fresh interviews with stars Shin Min-a, Ju Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk, and Lee Se-young.
The cast opens up about what first attracted them to The Remarried Empress and how they approached bringing the webtoon’s widely known characters to life on screen.
Behind the scenes, series director Cho Suwon, screenwriter Yeoh Geena, and members of the production team also offer viewers a fascinating glimpse at the series’ elaborate sets and costumes.
Among the production’s biggest challenges was finding locations that could capture the grandeur of the beloved source material. According to the team, 16 real-world castles across France, Germany, and the Czech Republic were scouted in search of a setting that could convincingly reflect the majesty of the original webtoon.
A Disney+ First for a Korean Original
The featurette also marks a notable milestone for Disney+.
Its release will be the first time a Korean Original has premiered a special look exclusively on the platform, highlighting the strong interest surrounding The Remarried Empress ahead of its November 4 debut.
And that excitement comes with good reason.
Based on the hit NAVER WEBTOON of the same name, which has accumulated close to three billion views to date, The Remarried Empress brings its sweeping tale of romance, betrayal, ambition, and power to live action.
Love, Power, and a Royal Marriage in Crisis
At the heart of the story is Empress Navier, a beloved ruler whose marriage to Emperor Sovieshu of the Eastern Empire begins to unravel.

For a family whose lives have long unfolded in public, the latest season appears set to explore a more personal kind of transformation.
Love Takes Different Forms in Season 8
Romantic relationships may grab attention, but The Kardashians Season 8 is also putting the spotlight on love in a wider sense.
That includes family bonds, self-love, personal growth, and the freedom to redefine what happiness looks like.
As Kris, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie move through different stages of their lives, the season will examine how each of them responds to change while remaining closely connected as a family.

The Kardashian-Jenners Continue to Evolve
Over the years, viewers have watched the family expand businesses, build brands, raise families, and navigate some of their most personal experiences in front of the camera.

Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie, and Kris are each entering different phases of their careers and personal lives, giving the new season plenty of room to explore shifting priorities and changing relationships.

The streaming platform has announced “Max vs 100,” a one-of-a-kind live motorsport event created with Red Bull, featuring four-time Formula 1® World Champion Max Verstappen in a massive karting challenge at Silverstone.
Streaming live on Disney+ Philippines at 12:00 AM on September 17, the event will put Verstappen at the back of a 101-kart grid with a simple but formidable mission: overtake every driver ahead of him.
Max Verstappen Takes on a Massive Karting Grid
Set at Silverstone, one of motorsport’s most famous circuits, “Max vs 100” brings together 101 karts for one of the biggest kart races of its kind.
Verstappen will have to work his way through a field filled with athletes, streamers, gaming personalities, social media creators, media figures, fans, and surprise guests from around the world.
Rather than following a traditional racing format, the event blends elite motorsport with entertainment and technology, creating a challenge where the advantage is firmly with the pack.
The question at the heart of it all is simple: Can 100 drivers stop Max Verstappen?
A Return to Where It All Started
For Verstappen, the race also marks a return to the discipline that helped shape his career.
Before Formula 1® titles, record-breaking performances, and international fame, Verstappen spent years honing his skills in karting. It was there that he learned the fundamentals of racing, from race starts and defensive driving to overtaking and managing grip.
In go-karts you learn all the basics: starts, defending, overtaking, Verstappen said.
Of course, I spent a long period of my life go-karting, so it’s always nice to return. It’s about understanding the grip of the go-kart. I’ve done so many years in go-karting that you quite naturally get back into things.
The setup of “Max vs 100” also mirrors a challenge familiar from his early racing days: starting from behind and fighting through the field.
This time, however, the scale is dramatically bigger.
Who Will Race Against Max Verstappen?
The 100 drivers standing between Verstappen and the front of the grid will come from different areas of sports, gaming, entertainment, and online culture.
Among the Red Bull athletes joining the race are ultrarunner Arda Saatçi, basketball shooting specialist Chris “Lethal Shooter” Matthews, and freestyle mountain biker Matt Jones.
Also joining the grid are Red Bull streamers TheGrefg, Caedrel, and TheDonato, along with content creators, personalities, and fans invited from different parts of the world.
With such a varied field, the race promises plenty of unpredictable moments as competitors attempt to stay ahead of one of motorsport’s most accomplished drivers.
Mo Gilligan Leads the Live Coverage
Triple BAFTA-winning British comedian Mo Gilligan will front the live broadcast as part of a wider presenting team.
Gilligan will bring his trademark humor and energy to the event while the broadcast team delivers race commentary, analysis, and updates throughout the challenge.
I’m absolutely thrilled to be teaming up with Disney on this hugely ambitious project. Gilligan said.
Max Verstappen, 100 drivers and one massive race – this show is going to be truly spectacular. It’s fast, unpredictable and, above all, a lot of fun. Somehow, I’ve got the best seat in the house, and I can’t wait to take everyone watching on Disney+ along for the ride.
Silverstone Gets a Special Karting Setup
To accommodate the unusually large field, the circuit has been specially designed for the event by David Terrien, the race director, French racing driver, renowned kart designer, and youth karting world champion.
The layout has been built to allow all 101 karts to compete at the same time, creating a racing environment specifically suited to the ambitious concept.
Beyond the action on track, “Max vs 100” will also experiment with how viewers experience motorsport at home.
The broadcast will feature game-inspired graphics, cinematic drone footage, live race data, and on-screen insightsdesigned to help audiences follow Verstappen’s progress through the field.
Adding another layer of unpredictability, Verstappen will also be able to communicate directly with his competitors during the race.
That feature could give viewers a rare look at the conversations, reactions, and split-second decisions taking place while the competition unfolds.
Disney+ Expands Its Live Sports Entertainment Offering
Sean Doyle, Vice President, Unscripted, Disney+ EMEA, said the idea immediately stood out because of its unusual premise.
The moment we heard the idea for ‘Max vs 100’, we knew it was something really special, Doyle said.
Taking one of the greatest racing drivers in the world and asking him to overtake 100 drivers is the kind of challenge you can’t help but want to see play out.
He added that the collaboration with Red Bull reflects Disney+’s continuing push into live and sports entertainment.
Working with Red Bull, we’ve created a live event that’s ambitious, entertaining and genuinely unpredictable. It’s another exciting step as we continue to expand our live and sports entertainment offering on Disney+, and we can’t wait to bring the excitement of live motorsport to a new generation of fans.”
When to Watch “Max vs 100”
“Max vs 100” streams live on Disney+ Philippines at 12:00 AM on September 17.
The event is a Red Bull Media House production commissioned by Angela Jain, Head of Content, Disney+ EMEA, and Sean Doyle, Vice President, Unscripted, Disney+ EMEA.
Executive producers include Antonia Howard-Taylor for Disney+ EMEA, Ignacio Leon for Red Bull, Kutlu Baklacioglu, Red Bull Head of Motorsports Network, and Simon Corney, Executive Producer at Whisper.
Produced by Whisper, the award-winning global production company behind major sports and entertainment programming, the live event is set to combine competitive racing with a fresh, playful format.
With Max Verstappen chasing down 100 drivers at Silverstone, “Max vs 100” is shaping up to be one of Disney+’s most ambitious live motorsport spectacles yet.

Her plans take an unexpected turn when she realizes that her best friend Ahn, portrayed by Rachel Marsh, has feelings for Olive’s crush Jeremy, played by Nicholas Duvernay.
Hoping to convince Ahn that she has already moved on, Olive acts on impulse and kisses Adam Carlsen, an intimidating professor played by Bateman.
It is a split-second decision that creates a much bigger problem.
Soon, Olive and Adam find themselves entering a fake relationship built on carefully agreed rules, clear boundaries, and a setup that appears useful for both of them.
At least, that is the plan.
When Pretending Starts to Feel Real
What begins as a convenient arrangement gradually becomes more complicated as Olive and Adam spend more time together.
Their fake relationship may have started with practical intentions, but the emotions that follow are anything but simple.
As the difference between acting and genuine attraction begins to fade, Olive is forced to reconsider everything she thought she understood about relationships.
For someone used to testing theories and looking for clear answers, love becomes the one hypothesis that cannot be easily controlled.
Warm, witty, and filled with romantic tension, The Love Hypothesis explores what happens when two people agree to pretend until the feelings are no longer pretend at all.
