UFC Fight Night 106 this past Saturday on FS1 drew 946,000 viewers per Sports TV Ratings.  The prelims, which preceded the main card on FS1 drew 860,000 viewers.

The main card, airing from 10pm-1:04am on Saturday, featured Kelvin Gastelum defeating Vitor Belfort drew 531,000 viewers in the adult 18-49 demo.  The prelims drew 379,000 viewers in the adult 18-49 demo.

UFC Fight Night 2017
Event Main Card Main Card  A18-49 Prelims Prelims A18-49
UFC Fight Night 103 1,090,000 612,000 824,000 361,000
UFC Fight Night 104 1,158,000 590,000 834,000 420,000
UFC Fight Night 105 946,000 531,000 860,000 379,000

Payout Perspective:

The ratings reflect a decrease from the main card in the last two Fight Nights but the prelim viewership is up overall from this past Saturday.  Notably, this time last year, UFC Fight Night 85 drew 1,149,000 (prelims drew 766,000) for Frank Mir-Mark Hunt in the main event.  For a card from Brazil that did not have too much in terms of names (aside from Vitor Belfort), the ratings are pretty good.

"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."
