UFC on Fox 30 draws 1.461 million

July 29, 2018 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

UFC on Fox 30 drew 1.461 million viewers in fast overnight ratings according to Television By Numbers.  It led its time slot with a 0.6 rating for Adults 18-49 and a 3 share.

The ratings were based on the 8-10pm time slot and does not account for the overrun.  The main event featuring Dustin Poirier and Eddie Alvarez seeped over the 10pm time slot with Poirier earning the TKO victory in the second round.

The 1.461 million viewers for the main card on Fox is the lowest out of the UFC on Fox cards held in the summer since the inception of the network cards in 2012.

Payout Perspective:

UFC on Fox 30 was the only live event and non-rerun in its time slot which may account for winning the night in the adult demo.   It’s hard to know how much the overrun will aid the viewership as it was perhaps 15 minutes into the 10pm hour.  One may spin it as a win for the UFC as it beat out other programming Saturday night for the A18-49 demo.  But, overall viewers were the lowest during its time slot.  Also, the historical outlook of the viewership for Fox broadcast is at its lowest.
