The viewership numbers for UFC Fight Night 120 (UFC Norfolk) have been released.

The main card aired on FOX Sports 1 at 10 p.m. ET while the preliminary card was 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.
The viewership numbers were just slightly below the UFC primetime average for the year of 871,000 viewers.

The Poirier vs. Pettis main event had the peak audience for the UFC show at 965,000 viewers.
A battle of top bantamweights that saw former World Series of Fighting champion Marlon Moraes beating former Ultimate Fighter winner John Dodson served as the headliner of the preliminary card that pulled in 726,000 viewers. The show also featured UFC prospect Sage Northcutt on the undercard.
As a result of these viewership numbers, it marked the highest rated prelims for a Fight Night on FOX Sports 1 since March. There were also 11,543 viewers streaming the prelims during an average minute.
The pre-fight show did 272,000 viewers while the weigh-ins did 101,000 viewers. What’s interesting is that the post-fight show averaged 369,000 viewers, which made it the third highest after a Fight Night show in history.

Another week of fights is in the books and the UFC fighter rankings have once again been updated.
Following this past weekend’s UFC Norfolk event in which Dustin Poirier downed former 155-pound king Anthony “Showtime” Pettis in the evening’s headliner, “The Diamond” has now climbed the lightweight rankings up one spot to be crowned No. 7. While the night’s glory belonged to Poirier, the talk of the mixed martial arts (MMA) world is the progression UFC middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre made on the pound-for-pound (P4P) list.
In the updated UFC fighter rankings, “GSP” gone up one spot in the P4P ranks to the No. 2-spot. The 185-pound champ surpasses UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor and is just one spot shy of being recognized as the best in the world – a moniker currently belonging to flyweight king Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski is finally back in the winner’s column.
Arlovski hadn’t picked up a victory inside the Octagon since September of 2015 before last night (Sat. November 11, 2017) in Norfolk, Virginia, as he took home a unanimous decision win over Junior Albini. “The Pitbull” had suffered five-straight losses to the likes of Stipe Miocic, Alistair Overeem, Josh Barnett, Francis Ngannou, and Marcin Tybura. He was finished in four out of those five defeats.
Shortly after his victory, Arlovski spoke to the media to discuss his bout with Albini, crediting sticking to his game plan for the positive result (quotes via MMA Junkie):
“Finally my hard work pays off and for the first time in a long, long time I stick to my gameplan,” Arlovski said. “It was not 100 percent, but 95 percent. I kept my hands up. Coach told me, ‘Don’t clinch,’ but I clinched a couple times. I’m very happy now.”
Arlovski claimed to have no ill will towards his opponent, and in fact, went to check on him in the medical room afterward in a sign of respect:
“I have a lot of respect for Junior,” Arlovski said. “I came after the fight to the medical room, and I wished him luck in his future fights. Respect. Tonight it wasn’t personal, it was just business. Tonight I think I needed it more than he does. Of course I look for the KO, but my coach said when I go out, and I just need to keep my hands up. I did this pretty well.”
The former UFC champ claimed he’d be ready to get back to work come early 2018 and was simply relieved to have ‘finally’ broken his long string of losses:
“I want to go back home to my wife and my son, but I think I’ll be ready by February or March,” Arlovski said. “Of course it’s up to Dana White and the UFC. 2016 sucks for me, beginning and middle of the year in 2017 was same thing. Finally I broke the streak of losing fights.”
