UFC on Fox 30 ratings draw 1.678M, prelims 939,000

July 31, 2018 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

The UFC on Fox 30 main card drew 1.678 million viewers according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.  The Prelims drew 939,000 viewers on Fox Saturday afternoon.  It drew 364,000 viewers in the Adult 18-49 demo.

The prelims featured Jordan Mein and Alex Morono with Mein winning the welterweight matchup via unanimous decision.  The Prelims preceded the main card from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The main card drew the lowest UFC on Fox fast overnight rating in the history of the events on the network with 1.46 million viewers despite an action-packed main card with competitive fights.   The main card featured Dustin Poirier and Eddie Alvarez with Poirier earning the stoppage in round 2.

UFC on Fox 30 drew 771,000 viewers in the A18-49 demo and received a 1.04 household rating.

The Prelims are not far off the UFC on Fox 29 Prelims from April which drew 970,000 viewers.  But, last July’s UFC on Fox 25 Prelims drew 1.137 million viewers on Fox.  This past Saturday’s ratings reflects that viewership increased gradually throughout the night which is promising news but it still shows that the ratings are decreasing.

TODAY, on the 59th anniversary of my grandfather taking a stand for what he believed in and refusing induction, we made meaningful progress with Senators on the Ali Revival Act.

Fighters, your rights are on the line. Speak up.

😬💰 Arman Tsarukyan says the UFC randomly sent him $42,000 bonus recently:

"I don't know what is it for. Maybe for my social media work. But they never tell. Otherwise my manager would ask for percentage."
