While many MMA fans had little knowledge of ION Television before the
network partnered with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, more than
three-quarters-of-a-million viewers were able to find the channel this
past weekend.
MMAjunkie.com today learned from industry sources
that this past weekend’s “UFC Prelims” special, which featured a trio of
live fights from “UFC 125: Resolution,” drew an average of 829,000
viewers.
This past weekend’s one-hour special marked the UFC’s debut on ION
Television. Past editions of “UFC Prelims” have aired on Spike TV and
UFC.com.
