MMA Payout has learned from a Nielsen source that Episode 4 of The Ultimate Fighter last week drew 845,000 viewers in adjusted viewership including DVR+3 data. It’s the second best increase from Live+SD rating this season.
The DVR numbers were a great increase from TUF 21 this past spring as it more than doubled last spring’s output for its 4th episode (415,000). It was also up slightly from Episode 4 last fall which drew 813,000 viewers.
Payout Perspective:
The average DVR +3 rating through 4 episodes is 814,000 viewers which is better than TUF 21 through 4 episodes (572,000 viewer average) but behind last fall’s TUF 20 through 4 episodes (845,000 viewer average).
Could be better says
Except for the fanboys, no one else cares.
