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 272:  1.526M (started 1 hour 10 mins late due to overrun)

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.

Do Guardian Caps actually prevent concussions? @ChrisNowinski1 tells @PabloTorre why the story "appears to be a bit of a scam":

"[The NFL's] own published study showed it wasn't true."

"They love that the public sees the Guardian Caps because it's basically virtue-signaling."

A truly mortifying decision.

Beyond disrespectful to generations of Murrow college alumnus. A reprehensible decision motivated purely by greed and a disregard for the integrity of journalism. Damaging the credibility of degrees earned by hard-working and passionate students.
