UFC Fight Night Denver drew 840,000 viewers on FS1 Saturday night according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily. The prelims which preceded the main telecast drew 565,000 viewers on FS1.

Both telecasts which honored the 25^th Anniversary of the UFC were strong in comparison to normal Fight Night ratings on the network. The main card featured Yair Rodriguez and the Korean Zombie in one of the best fights of 2018. Rodriguez KO’d KZ with 1 second left in the fight.

The telecast featured nostalgia with an homage to the first UFC event, the old logo and graphics.

The UFC post fight show drew 237,000 viewers on FS1. The prefight show on FS1 drew 171,000 viewers.

Payout Perspective:

The 840,000 viewers are the highest rated Fight Night since May’s UFC Fight Night 129. The Prelims also were high as it doubled viewers ship from the last 2 Fight Night Prelims. Perhaps the nostalgia of the 25^th Anniversary led to the spike in viewership as the headliners are not considered draws as both were coming off of long layoffs.

#Seahawks facility still without power. No hot water for the players as well. Generators doing what they can. Practice at the facility today but might be moved to Lumen Field tomorrow. Prep for a big game against the #AZCardinals continues.

May not be related but brings to mind, WWE submitted a letter in March opposing a CT House bill that would repeal the state's film & TV tax credit program, which WWE (and many others like ESPN and NBCU) benefit from each year. WWE got $15M from the program last year.

Hunt got is little shot in at Williams with the allegation that they were following him. An argument that could not be discussed as a legal claim on appeal.

Key argument stressed by Williams here is that Hunt did not show extraordinary damages from the alleged injury. No damages =no case

Williams complimented Hunt for attempting to argue before Appellate Court before arguing he had no case in the underlying record
