UFC 218 will replay on Christmas Eve on FS1. The main event featured Max Holloway successfully defending his Featherweight title against Jose Aldo.
The event also featured the brutal KO of Alistair Overeem by Heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou and Eddie Alvarez and Justin Gaethje.
Last year, Fox replayed UFC 206 on Christmas Eve highlighting certain entertaining fights. The results drew 4.7 million viewers.
Payout Perspective:
Perhaps due to NFL Football, Fox is not airing UFC 218 on the network. We will see if the UFC can capitalize on last year’s Christmas Eve success. I would think we might see a downtick from last year’s 4.7 million since its on FS1 but I would think you may see a nice viewership rating.
