TUF 28 Finale gets the lowest ratings ever in the history of these season-ending shows of the reality series as it was the final one on the FS1 platform.

The viewership numbers for this event have been released. The event, which took place on November 30, 2018 at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, averaged 399,000 viewers. Rafael dos Anjos vs. Kamaru Usman in a welterweight bout will headline this show. Justin Frazier vs. Juan Francisco Dieppa in the TUF 28 heavyweight finale will serve as the co-headliner.

The main card will air on FOX Sports 1 at 10 p.m. ET. The preliminary card will be split broadcasted on FOX Sports 1 at 8 p.m. ET and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass, at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Lowest Ratings Ever

As a result of these numbers, it marked the lowest prime-time number on FS1 in history. Before this show, UFC’s previous low was for a prime-time show that did 499,000 viewers for the July finale of TUF.

On paper, it looked like a decent card, and it delivered a good night of fights that had a few notable names. Antonina Shevchenko, who is the sister of current women’s Flyweight title contender Valentina Shevchenko, pulled in the most viewers. Her fight against Ji Yeon Kim peaked the viewership numbers for this show with 465,000 viewers. The main card averaged 9.472 viewers through FOX streaming services.

Other viewership notes include the prelims averaging 353,000 viewers on television and 6,179 viewers streaming. This portion of the card was headlined by Kevin Aguilar vs. Rick Glenn. The pre-fight show did 118,000 viewers and post-fight show did 139,000 viewers.

Fight fans will not have to wait long for more UFC action as the Las Vegas-based promotion returns with another event. The UFC 231 pay-per-view is set to take place on Saturday, December 8, 2018 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The prelims will air on FOX Sports 1.

The Ultimate Fighter 28 Finale (TUF 28 Finale) went down last night (Fri. November 30, 2018) from the Pearl Theatre at Palms Casino Resort from Las Vegas, Nevada.

In the main event of the evening, Kamaru Usman picked up an absolutely dominant victory over former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos. Usman utilized his superior wrestling ability beautifully. Although “RDA” had some opportunities for a submission on the ground, Usman defended very well en-route to a lopsided decision win.

Now, Usman has emerged as a candidate for a welterweight title opportunity. Check out how the mixed martial arts (MMA) community reacted to the win on Twitter:

Rafael dos Anjos is world class, but this looked like a tough matchup on paper against Kamaru Usman. And through four rounds, it has played out that way.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) December 1, 2018

We got a sweep so far. 40-36, Usman. Let’s see how he finishes.

Big difference in size too. Seems like a rehydrated 200 pounder vs. a rehydrated 185 pounder.

— Gorgeous George (@MMAjunkieGeorge) December 1, 2018

All or nothing time for RDA… #TUFFinale

— Karyn Bryant (@KarynBryant) December 1, 2018

RDA moves to 170, wins fights:

"See, weight cutting is overrated!"

Then loses fights:

"Ah, but he's undersized!"

Right, which is why he cut weight to begin with.

The answer is a 165lbs division, but remember that anti-weight cut fetishization isn't based in reality.

After Rafael dos Anjos fights Colby Covington and Kamaru Usman in back-to-back fights, my guess is his next opponent will be Ben Askren.

Just throw him in the meat grinder with every wrestler in the division #TUF28Finale

— Damon Martin (@DamonMartin) December 1, 2018

Perfect 9-0 in the UFC. Dominant showing over Rafael dos Anjos. Kamaru Usman already deserved a title shot, but now there's something majorly wrong if he doesn't get the Woodley-Covington winner. #TUF28Finale

— Shaheen Al-Shatti (@shaunalshatti) December 1, 2018

That was Kamaru Usman's most impressive performance to date in my opinion. 100% #TUF28Finale
