Despite the event having a solid main card and a light heavyweight title bout in the main event, people were not invested in watching the prelims for UFC 210. The viewership numbers for the event are in. The prelims, which were headlined by Kamaru Usman vs. Sean Strickland, drew 723,000, which is down from UFC 209 prelims that 1,033 million viewers.

UFC 210 took place on Saturday, April 8, 2017 at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York. The prelims aired on UFC Fight Pass with four bouts at 6 p.m. ET and on FOX Sports 1 with four bouts at 8 p.m. ET. The main card aired on PPV at 10 p.m. ET with five bouts.

The pre-fight show drew 268,000 while the viewership numbers for the post-fight show were not made available and did not rank in the 150 shows on cable. The weigh-ins also did not rank in the top 150 shows on cable.

With the post-fight show not doing good numbers is a not a good sign for PPV buys as that meant that a lot of people were not interested enough to hang out and catch the results/highlights of the actual PPV main card after the event aired. Usually when a PPV event does a good/great PPV buyrate, then the prelims and the post-fight show does good viewership numbers.

The UFC returns to FOX Sports 1 this weekend with UFC on FOX 24 this Saturday at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The UFC Fight Pass prelims begins at 4:30 p.m. ET with five bouts then continues on FOX at 6 p.m. ET with four bouts. The main card airs at 8 p.m. ET with four bouts. A UFC Flyweight Championship match between current champion Demetrious Johnson and Wilson Reis will headline this event.

UFC Fight Night 210: 170lbs: Kamaru Usman Vs. Sean Strickland

 TUF 21 saw Kamaru Usman (9-1) start and finish the show for the Blackzilans when he took out Michael Graves to start things off and then had Hayder Hassan tap out with an unforgiving choke in the finale.

We have seen Usman really establish himself as clear superior against the likes of Leon Edwards and Warlley Alves in his most recent fights. Of his professional victories, as many as five of them can be attributed to knock outs.

On the other hand, Sean Strickland rose to the ranks when he surprisingly and against all odds turned heads thanks to his defeat of the revered Bubba McDaniel. Furthermore, this victory came in Stricklands debut fight which really got him a lot of attention and the spotlight. He won with a submission. However, things quite have not carried on with the same sort of momentum, he lost his fight to Luke Barnatt, albeit the decision proved very controversial, and then he was defeated again by Santiago Ponzinibbio.

Since these two defeats, Strickland has come back strong with three back to back wins. His most recent fight and victory was against Tom Breese during UFC Fight Night 199.

Prediction – both fighters are well rounded and are mostly going to be cancelling each other out. The fight is going to be technical and a lot of it may be fought on the floor. Usman is brimming with confidence and we think he will come out the winner via a unanimous decision.

Kamaru Usman: ‘The UFC Can Make Anyone a Star if They Believe in You’

It’s no secret that the two top draws in the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) today are Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey. With Rousey likely moving on, that leaves “Notorious” as the only fighter that can consistently bring in over one million pay-per-view (PPV) buys. Be that as it may, McGregor has recently expressed […]
