UFC on FUEL 1 - TV Ratings

2012-02-17T15:10:00.005-05:00

Wednesday's UFC on FUEL TV 1 event drew 217,000 viewers, today confirmed with industry sources.

That's a new live-event record for FUEL TV, which drew 148,000 viewers for the UFC on FX 1 preliminary card and 144,000 viewers for the UFC on FOX 2 prelims this past month.

Wednesday's event took place during a free-preview week for FUEL TV on many cable platforms.

UFC on on FUEL TV 1 took place Feb. 15 at Nebraska's Omaha Civic Auditorium. After three prelims on Facebook, the three-hour FUEL TV broadcast featured six bouts, including Jake Ellenberger's entertaining main-event victory over fellow welterweight contender Diego Sanchez.

The event proved a surprise hit for the UFC, which earned mixed reviews for the recent and bigger UFC 143 and UFC on FOX 2 events. Stefan Struve, Stipe Miocic and Ivan Menjivar all earned stoppage wins on Wednesday's main card. Additionally, T.J. Dillashaw picked up a dominant decision victory, and Ronny Markes edged Aaron Simpson via split decision.

The event aired internationally on a variety of broadcast partners. If no TV station aired the event, fans from that country could watch a free stream on UFC.tv.

The UFC recently moved much of its live-event programming from Spike TV to FX and FUEL TV thanks to its seven-year deal with FOX. Although currently cable TV's lowest-rated cable station (among those big enough to garner ratings information), FUEL TV has increased from approximately 30 million homes to 36 million in the past few months due in large part to the new UFC programming, which has set ratings records for the sports-oriented station.

Spike TV's counter-programming efforts, which included a replay of The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale and past Diego Sanchez fights, averaged approximately 674,000 viewers on Wednesday.

*UPDATE*

Earlier today, it was reported that Wednesday's UFC on FUEL TV 1 event averaged 217 000 viewers, which set a UFC-FUEL TV record.

Now, FUEL TV has released additional information, including additional record-setting figures.

Chief among them? UFC on FUEL TV 1 peaked with a record 315,000 viewers during the night's main event between Jake Ellenberger and Diego Sanchez.

UFC on FUEL TV 1, which is the first of six main-card broadcasts on the FOX-owned cable station in 2012, took place Feb. 15 at Nebraska's Omaha Civic Auditorium. After three prelims on Facebook, the three-hour FUEL TV broadcast featured six bouts, including Ellenberger's entertaining decision victory over Sanchez and Stefan Struve's TKO of fellow heavyweight Dave Herman.

Other UFC on FUEL TV 1 milestones included:

Most-watched day in FUEL TV history with the total-day average audience up 520 percent overall and 580 percent among men 18-49 compared to February's averages
Most-watched program and evening of prime-time programming in FUEL TV history
Most-watched event in FUEL TV history among men 18-49 with 130,000 viewers

Although currently cable TV's lowest-rated cable station (among those big enough to garner ratings information), UFC on FUEL TV 1 ranked in the top 10 (No. 9) among all ad-supported cable networks among men 18-49 rating in its timeslot.

"We fully expected the UFC was going to deliver FUEL TV extraordinary ratings, and now we're seeing it," George Greenberg, FUEL TV's executive vice president and general manager, stated. "We are beyond ecstatic about the audience and the impact the UFC is having on our network's growth thus far. The sky's the limit on where this network can go from here."

The UFC recently moved much of its live-event programming from Spike TV to FX and FUEL TV thanks to its seven-year deal with FOX. FUEL TV has increased from approximately 30 million homes to 36 million in the past few months due in large part to the new UFC programming, which has set ratings records for the sports-oriented station. The UFC's former home, Spike TV, is available in approximately 100 million homes.

Greg Jackson thinks Diego Sanchez 'got some fans' at UFC on FUEL (Video)

2012-02-17T14:41:00.003-05:00

Yes, the main event at UFC on Fuel should have been a five-round fight. You know it, we know it, Greg Jackson knows it, and even Dana White admits he “blew it.” Instead, what we got was a rawesome three round fight that could have yielded dramatically different results had the Nebraska State Athletic Commission decided to call an audible and run two more rounds. It’s times like these I wish MMA was more like football or a made up backyard game where the rules get made up as you go. Either way, Greg Jackson is proud of Diego’s performance and hopes to get him back in the octagon soon. He even thinks that despite picking up a loss on Wednesday, his definitely 'got some fans' – which, as you know, is the most pressing phrase on Jackson’s mind these days.

A Lesson in Street MMA: German Suplexes WORK (Video)

2012-02-17T14:38:00.009-05:00

No one knows why this particular move is classified as 'German.' Maybe each suplex has a secret, undying love for David Hasselhoff. Perhaps the German suplex is just another way for a country to express its gratitude for Dallas Mavericks power forward, Dirk Nowitzki. In the case of Street MMA, a German suplex is so obviously just another way to incapacitate your opponent with one physical swoop. While we don't encourage any feat of Street MMA, we feel an incredible obligation to educate our readers with another impromptu lesson. In this lesson, remember that a well-placed German suplex has the power to end worlds.

Chisora Slaps Klitschko At Weigh-Ins for Tomorrow Night’s WBC HW Title Bout (Video)

2012-02-17T14:38:00.008-05:00

Dereck Chisora must think he’s the Paul Daley of boxing. The brash Brit today slapped WBC heavyweight kingpin Vitali Klitschko across the face during the staredown at the weigh-ins for their championship bout tomorrow night in Munich. He may not get as good of a shot past the Ukranian can-crusher’s juggernaut’s guard tomorrow night.

The Zimbabwe-born England-raised fighter is just 1-2 in his last three fights. Not sure how rankings work, but in the UFC you might have been fired, not given a title shot after a slide like that.

Brock Lesnar Presents Jr. Hodge Trophy (Video)

2012-02-12T11:00:00.006-05:00

We haven’t seen or heard much from Brock Lesnar since his first round UFC 141 TKO loss to Alistair Overeem and subsequent retirement from MMA. Most of us assumed he was likely off on another possibly illegal hunting trip, or perhaps was spending day and night just getting on top of that smoking hot wife of his. In either case, the former UFC Heavyweight Champ recently popped up in Minneapolis to present Minnesota Gopher freshman wrestler Logan Storley with the 2011 Junior Hodge Trophy.

Storley, who recently helped the Gophers clinch half of the Big Ten Dual Meet conference championship (along with Penn State), attended the same high school as Lesnar, who, as we all know, was a NCAA Division I Champion himself. After compiling an incredible 262-3 record, Storley was voted the nation’s best prep high school wrestler by the Amateur Athletic Union and WIN Magazine.
