Payout Perspective:
In defense of WSOF, it was an entertaining night of fights as the organization held a tournament. The late Friday night start may have contributed to the lower ratings. The 2015 average for WSOF sits at 192,000 viewers while the overall viewership on NBC Sports Network is 206,000 (excluding the one event on NBC).
Oops. Completely forgot this was on. Looks like I wasn’t the only one.
WSOF consistently does horrible numbers. I’m surprised they’ve have lasted this long as an organization. I can see them being bought out by either the UFC or Bellator.

WSOF is basically the UFC without the hype and BS publicity.
WSOF is the best proof that MMA would never survive on its own without publicity stunts.
WSOF will never be bought by the UFC; the UFC buys only companies whose numbers it can’t beat.
