Last Saturday’s UFC 171 event crowned our new welterweight champion. You didn’t have to tune in to FOX Sports 2 to catch this historic moment, you just had to fork out enough coin to buy the pay-per-view.<\/p>\n

However, there were fights on FOX Sports 2 as well last Saturday. As part of the lead up to the evenings pay-per-view, four-fights went up on free TV, but most of you probably missed them.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, only 305,000 people nationwide tuned in to watch the UFC’s preliminary card special.<\/p>\n

MMAPayout.com<\/a> has the scoop:<\/p>\n

MMA Payout has learned that the UFC 171 Prelims on Fox Sports 2 received an average viewership of 305,000.\u00a0 The prelims were moved to FS2 to compensate for the Pac 12 and Big East tournament Finals which were held during the same time as the event.<\/em><\/p>\n

The prelims on Saturdays received a 0.56 rating in the adult 18-49 rating and 0.90 in the male 18-49 demo.<\/em><\/p>\n
