TUF 26 Episode 7 draws 316,000 viewers

October 19, 2017 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

The Ultimate Fighter 26 Episode 7 drew 316,000 on FS1 Wednesday night.

The fight of the telecast featured Melinda Fabian taking on Rachael Ostovich.  It was Ostovich that came out victorious.

Notably, the MLB Playoff game between the Astros and Yankees preceded TUF and scored over 5 million viewers on Fox Sports with the post-game on FS1 drawing 2.8 million.

Payout Perspective:

The good news is that this is the highest rated Live + SD this season.  The bad news is that its only 316,000 viewers.  The last two seasons of episode 7 drew 372,000 viewers.  Realistically, this is a good rating for TUF since it took last week off due to the baseball playoffs and went up against it and the first full night of NBA action.

@Josh_HokitUFC You’re gonna cry you were cancelled by the left for “free speech”. And then you’ll post 200 times a day on Twitter until fox and friends invites you on to “tell your story”. And after that you’ll run for congress and your campaign will be centered on white grievance.

This is

Real question. Was this announced or is there an intern somewhere that is taking note of ever fighter’s follow and unfollow?

Ian Garry unfollowed PFL fighter Alexei Pergande after a clip resurfaced of him taking down Garry in sparring:

"Ian Garry is lying about me... I'm not sure why he made up a lie [about me filming him without permission]."
