UFC Fight Night 123 draws 870K viewers, Prelims draw 707,000

December 12, 2017 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

UFC Fight Night 123 drew 870,000 viewers on FS1 Saturday night per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.  The Prelims which preceded the main card drew 707,000 viewers.

The main card featured Brian Ortega and Cub Swanson in the main event.  The 185-minute UFC Fight Night 123 drew 0.32 in the A18-49 demo.  The two-hour prelim card drew 0.21 in the A18-49 demo.

The post-show on FS1 drew 315,000 viewers.  The 60-minute show which started after the main card drew 0.13 in the A18-49 demo.

Payout Perspective:

On a night with many choices for combat sports, the UFC did well in the ratings scoring about the same average as these Fight Night cards.  It actually drew the best ratings for a Fight Night on cable TV since UFC Fight Night 116’s main card of 872,000.
