MMA Junkie reports that The Ultimate Fighter 14 episode 4 received an average of 1.5 milllion viewers. Episode 4 shows a small bounce back from the season’s low of 1.3 million.
Episode 1: 1.5 million
Episode 2: 1.6 million
Episode 3: 1.3 million
Episode 4: 1.5 million
Payout Perspective:
The episode featured two fights instead of the normal run-up to one. There does seem to be more fire by Bisping and Miller to coach up their fighters than other coaches in past seasons. But, I’m not sure how much will drum up more viewers. This week’s rating saw a small increase from Episode 3 despite going up against MLB baseball.
Good season thus far. Jason, what is the actual rating? Hard to get that information now that sites only report viewer counts.

Episode 3: 1.0 rating and 1.32 million viewers.
I will have the official number next week for episode four, but you can bet it’s around the same.
Well, at least the Ultimate Fighter did better than The Real World.
