MMA Junkie reports that the UFC 153 prelims airing on FX earned a 1 million viewer average. The average bests the last two FX prelim shows which were below the 1 million benchmark.
Although the UFC 153 prelims scored a 1 million viewer average it still does not match the 1.24 million viewer average for the prelims.
Payout Perspective:
A nice bump back to the 1 million viewer average despite being below the overall prelim average. There were not a lot of known fighters on the prelims so one might argue that this is a good reflection of viewers tuning in for the UFC and not the fighters. It will be interesting to see if this equates to people purchasing the PPV.
