The UFC 214 Prelims drew 418,000 viewers per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily. The prelims on Fox Sports 1 were pre-empted for the first hour due to golf.
The main event on the FS1 prelims featured Sara McMann and Ketlen Vieira. The Brazilian surprised McMann with an arm-triangle choke in the second round.
Payout Perspective:
Opposite college football and other sports Saturday night the partial rating (only 62 minutes on FS1) is not surprising. It probably hurt that if you wanted to turn in and saw golf, they were unlikely to tune back in to FS1. It is the lowest of the year and it does not bode well for the buy rate for this event.
