Payout Perspective:
The updated ratings show that many that many people watched the end of the prelims and then the beginning of the main card and then the viewership went down from there. The featured fight on the prelims was Alexis Davis pulling out a split decision against Liz Carmouche. The first fight of the main card was a entertaining fight between Benito Lopez and Albert Moralex. It could be due to the start of the Lomachenko-Rigo fight which started around 11pm ET (during the Eryk Anders-Marcus Perez fight). Anders-Perez was the second fight on the main card.
