MMA Payout has learned from Nielsen sources that the UFC on Fox 9 Prelims held Saturday on FS1 received an average viewership of 613,000. The ratings are off from UFC 167, the previous prelim card airing on the network.
It was the first time that the UFC on Fox prelims aired on FS1.
UFC Prelims on FS1
UFC 164 809,000
UFC 165 722,000
UFC 166 628,000
UFC 167 998,000
UFC on Fox 9 613,000
Payout Perspective:
The prelim card did produce the Fight of the Night and the oddest appearance of the night with Cody McKenzie and his white Nike shorts. Putting up the UFC on Fox prelim ratings next to the PPV prelims may be unfair but it gives some context as to the viewership interest for Saturday’s card.
