UFC 148 ratings: FX prelims draw all-time best 1.8 million viewers

The UFC has set a new ratings high-water mark with cable partner FX.

This past weekend’s UFC 148 preliminary-card broadcast averaged 1.8 million viewers during the two-hour broadcast, MMAjunkie.com today confirmed with industry sources.

That tops the previous high of 1.5 million that accompanied a UFC 145 prelims broadcast in April.
