While UFC officials offered just one-week’s notice that three fights
from this past weekend’s UFC 127 event would air live on ION Television,
the broadcast still netted 714,000 viewers.
MMAjunkie.com today learned of the figures from industry sources. The ratings mark the lowest rating in the series’ 17-month history.
This past weekend’s one-hour program marked the UFC’s second special on
ION Television. Past editions of “UFC Prelims” have also aired on Spike
TV and UFC.com.
