TUF 26 Episode 5: 220,000 viewers

September 28, 2017 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

The Ultimate Fighter Episode 5 on FS1 Wednesday night drew 220,000 viewers per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.  It brings the season average to just 238,000 viewers.

The event drew 0.07 viewers in the A18-49 demo per Nielsen.  In the fight of the telecast, Sijara Eubanks defeated Maia Stevenson as the higher seed scored an upset.

Notably, Stevenson is the spouse of TUF alum Joe Stevenson.

Payout Perspective:

The ratings are definitely down this season and on a night where there was not much else on sports-wise, the live viewership is low.  Even taking that into account, the DVR viewership is also down over the last couple seasons.
