Ratings for the ninth episode of “The Ultimate Fighter 16: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson” dipped slightly this past Friday, but still were the fourth highest of the season.
921,000 people tuned into the UFC’s reality competition on FX, down from the 1.1 million for Episode 8 the week prior. That mark tied a season high that was set for Episode 4.
After 676,000 viewers for Episode 7, the past two installments have seen significant bumps as the season heads into the quarterfinals, narrowed down from the original 32-fighter field.
