May 11, 2022 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

The UFC 274 Prelims on ESPN drew 623,000 viewers on Saturday night.  The telecast placed 7th overall in cable ratings per Nielsen per ShowBuzz Daily.

The event, which started 10 minutes later than originally slated due to an overrun, drew 0.20 (260,000 viewers) in A18-49, 0.13 in F18-49, 0.27 in M18-49, 0.13 A18-34, 0.07 F12-34, 0.14 M12-34, 0.24 A25-54 and 0.28 in over 50.

The telecast preceded the UFC 274 PPV taking place in Phoenix, Arizona. The event featured Francisco Trinaldo-Danny Roberts.  It also had the Fight of the Night which featured Brandon Royval and Matt Schnell.  The Randy Brown-Khaos Williams fight was elevated to the PPV when Donald Cerrone was scratched due to an illness from food poisoning.

The Prelims were off from UFC 273 Prelims which drew 791,000 viewers.

2022 UFC Prelims

UFC 272: 623,000 (started 10 minutes late due to overrun)

UFC 273: 791,000

UFC 271:  901K (started 12 minutes late due to overrun)

UFC 270:  421K (started 15 minutes late due to overrun)

Payout Perspective:

The NHL Playoffs and the F1 Event in Miami were on top of the cable ratings this past Saturday.  Throw in the NBA Playoffs, the Kentucky Derby and the Canelo Alvarez fight and the night was packed with content.

High School coaches are too emotional

Joe Morel @joe_morel2398

Not sure if this is the head coach from Centennial, but this is unacceptable from any Coach during the post game handshake line! @Cehsfootball

Jim Mora never was a good coach, his dad was

Colorado State football is at a place where the care level is high but so is the tension… and may have reached a tipping point.
It is heated before halftime with Boise State up 29-10.

Not even a Miami fan but do you have to walk to the sidelines with the ball in your bosom for it to be a catch? He had caught the ball and even had two feet in before the ball was knocked out of bounds

The immaculate loss of possession

That should be a catch for Miami

She is African American, so I'm not sure that is who he wants...because, you know.

Apparently there’s a lady named Dana White who is an DoD public affairs assistant and I guarantee you someone recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC Dana White and nobody is allowed to correct him lol
