From a ratings perspective, all eyes are on Saturday night to see what Kimbo Slice’s first real fight in the UFC is going to produce for the organization. It’ll do very well, but given how little time the UFC had to promote UFC 106 – and then seeing what it did for buys (360,000) – you have to wonder whether the short promo time will hamper this TUF Finale effort as well.
