Payout Perspective:

Despite a less than stellar card, the UFC chose the right night to run live programming on the network.  The overnight numbers outdid the past two UFC on Fox live events.  Notably, the last two Fox events featured Demetrious Johnson in the main event.  But Benson Henderson, another Fox television favorite, this was the lowest rating for him in the main event (UFC on Fox 5, 3.41M/UFC on Fox 7, 3.3M)

MMA Payout will have more on the ratings as information comes out.
