The UFC 221 on FS1 drew 697,000 viewers Saturday night per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily. The telecast featured Dong Hyun Kim earned a split decision over Damien Brown.
Also on the telecast, Israel Adesanya stopped Rob Wilkinson, Alex Volkanovski stopped Jeremy Kennedy and Justin Formiga submitted Ben Nguyen.
The two-hour telecast drew 0.21 in the A18-49 demo.
Also, the post-fight show on FS1 drew 188,000 viewers. The 52-minute wrapup show which started a little after 1:00 am on the east coast drew 0.08 in the A18-49 demo.
Payout Perspective:
Predictably, the event drew lower than UFC 220 last month. This is likely due to the Olympics as well as the less-than-stellar hype for this PPV. This ratings may mean that the PPV buys did not do well domestically despite the local excitement for the event in Perth.
