MMA Fighting reports that last Friday’s debut of the UFC Primetime: GSP-Condit Show received an average of 629,000 viewers. The average according to the article ranges from 540,000 to 560,000 viewers.
It was the first of a three part series which will reintroduce the viewers to GSP as he comes back from a knee injury that left him out of action over 18 months. The first episode also reminds folks that Carlos Condit is the interim champ and takes a glimpse into his humble family life.
Payout Perspective:
According to the report written by Dave Meltzer first episodes of UFC Primetimes tend to be higher rated than the following episodes. TUF, which made a return to a 1 million viewer average Friday, was the lead-in for the series. I’m suspecting that we might see better numbers for this series as one of the company’s top draws, GSP is training for a return to the octagon. I’m sure many are interested on how he looks and whether he’ll be ready next Saturday.
