Spike TV’s two-fight preliminary card broadcast of this past weekend’s WEC 48 event drew an average audience of 1 million
viewers, according to Spike TV officials.
The broadcast was the debut of the WEC on Spike TV, though the fight
promotion’s brand was completely removed for the event. “Aldo vs. Faber Prelims” served as a
teaser for the evening’s pay-per-view broadcast.
The one-hour broadcast featured a highly entertaining matchup between
featherweights Leonard Garcia and Chan Sung Jung, as well as a
lightweight contest between Anthony Pettis and Alex Karalexis.
