Via MMA Weekly:
The UFC 130 Prelims drew an average audience of 1.3 million viewers, which is just slightly below the average of 1.44 million. It peaked at 1.499 million viewers in the final quarter hour.
The prelims on Saturday night featured Tim Boetsch defeating Kendall Grove via decision and Demetrious Johnson defeating Miguel Torres in what some believe was a controversial decision.
Payout Perspective:
These ratings will likely fall in line with the PPV buy rate – slightly lower than the average. The Johnson-Torres match was the more entertaining match between the two fights although there was debate on who won the match. The ratings were good enough to win the A18-49 demographic for its time slot among basic cable shows. Overall it received a 0.9 household rating.
