MMA Payout has learned from Nielsen sources that the World Series of Fighting 20 airing Friday night on NBC Sports Network drew just 128,000 viewers.
The event which aired from 9:00 – 11:30pm ET featured David Branch against Jesse McElligott. Branch won via submission with what looked like a version of the Von Flue choke. In addition, Ben Fedor aka Phoenix Jones made his promotional debut. However, he lost to Emmanuel Walo.

Payout Perspective:
This is a disappointing rating for WSOF which ran opposite Bellator on SpikeTV. Even with some of the publicity it received from the signing of Phoenix Jones, the ratings were down. It’s the first time it’s gone sub-200K since WSOF 16.
