Payout Perspective:

The event was down from last December’s event and the fast-national number did not rise after including west coast viewership.  The possibility why the number was down was due to some preemptions in markets that Nielsen meters or other programming during the UFC on Fox time slot broadcast.  The show was close to the UFC on Fox 2018 average.  The prelims ratings were the lowest ever when airing on FS1.

Eddie did the right thing here imo. He won, but at a cost. Take it from me, Dana will NOT forget this and will go out of his way to try and crush Eddie and his business hereafter.
