Payout Perspective:
The ratings are down from UFC Fight Night 133 from Boise which drew 754,000 for the main card. But, that event took place on a Saturday night. Usually, Sunday morning shows do not garner as many viewers as Saturday night shows. UFC Fight Night 130 this past May did a respectable 552,000 viewers. The event may have been affected by Tiger Woods’ return to The Open on NBC as he was in contention most of the day. Golf aired at about the same time as the UFC and was an overwhelming ratings success.
