The UFC’s first-ever “UFC Prelims” special on FX drew 880,000 viewers.
The latest special, the promotion’s first since ending a long-running
partnership with Spike TV, coincided with this past Saturday’s UFC 142
event and featured four-preliminary card contests during the two-hour
broadcast.
The viewership number is slightly smaller than for any of the 26 “UFC
Prelims” broadcasts to air on Spike TV but does beat out each of the
three specials that aired on ION Television.
