UFC PPV Prelims draws 777,000 viewers

December 13, 2016 by Jason Cruz 1 Comment

The UFC 206 Prelims drew 771,000 viewers on FS1 Saturday night per Sports TV Ratings.

According to Sports TV Ratings, the event drew 366,000 viewers in the adult 18-49 category.  The main fight of the prelims saw Misha Cirkunov submit Nikita Krylov in a light heavyweight match-up.

Payout Perspective:

With one televised PPV Prelim remaining in 2016, the current average is 1,062,500.  Saturday’s first hour of the prelims went up against ESPN’s showing of the Heisman Trophy Presentation which drew over 2.6 million viewers.  The rating was down from UFC 205 but up from October’s UFC 204.  Notably, HBO Boxing which aired later that night and featured Terrence Crawford drew more than the prelims with 806,000 viewers.

TODAY, on the 59th anniversary of my grandfather taking a stand for what he believed in and refusing induction, we made meaningful progress with Senators on the Ali Revival Act.

Fighters, your rights are on the line. Speak up.

"I don't know what is it for. Maybe for my social media work. But they never tell. Otherwise my manager would ask for percentage."
