UFC Fight Night KC on ESPN draws 1.223M

April 18, 2023 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

UFC Fight Night Kansas City drew 1.223M viewers on Saturday night on ESPN per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.  The telecast was 4th overall in cable for the day.

The telecast started late due to the overrun of the NBA Playoffs on ESPN. 

The show drew 0.46 in the 18-49 demo, 0.32 F18-49, 0.61 M18-49, 0.44 18-34, 0.23 F12-34, 0.49 M12-34, 0.51 25-54 and 0.45 in the over 50 category.

The main card featured Arnold Allen and Max Holloway in a battle of Featherweights.  Holloway earned the decision victory over Allen.

Payout Perspective:

Only NBA playoff basketball coverage did better than the UFC on Saturday as the telecast produced big viewership as a result of the NBA as well as Holloway on the top of this card.

Wait, is this for real? Trump spent $60 million of our taxpayer funds to host a UFC fight and then is selling UFC coin to line his family’s pockets. The Trump corruption swamp is a mile deep.
