The main card featuring Chris Weidman’s victory over Kelvin Gastelum drew 924,000 viewers in the A18-49 demo. The prelims drew 468,000 viewers in the A18-49 demo.
The adjusted ratings bests UFC on Fox 24’s low of 1.996 million viewers earlier this year.

Payout Perspective:
The ratings were a disappointment but with the adjusted ratings, it was able to creep over 2 million viewers as many tuned in for the main event. The Prelims did slightly better than this spring’s UFC on Fox 24 which shows that the Prelims on the network do much better as a lead-in to the main card.
