Payout Perspective:
The promotion will end its stay on Paramount with back-to-back nights of events on September 11 and 12th. The ratings have to be disappointing considering Ryan Bader was defending the light heavyweight title. While there was a simulcast on DAZN, its hard to expect more viewers on the streaming platform.
