Payout Perspective:
It’s the second-lowest ratings for a UFC Fight Night this year. Only a Sunday morning card during Memorial Day weekend in Sweden did worst (UFC Fight Night 109). FS1 had college football on Friday night and that’s the reason for the bump to FXX which likely hurt. The card from Japan did not have great attendance and since it aired Friday one might think many may have confused with the usual UFC Fight Nights on Saturday.
