WSOF 20 draws 128,000 viewers

April 13, 2015 by Jason Cruz 3 Comments

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.

WSOF 20

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.

Right wing grift is so hilariously easy. Just write a very weird and creepy fantasy story you know your paper won’t publish, then make a public show of resigning because of it, and you’ll instantly have a job offer from Clay Travis in your inbox
