An average of 1.1 million people watched the live broadcast of UFC 118 preliminary fights, Spike TV said today.
UFC 118's prelims on Saturday generated a household rating of 0.83 overall, Spike said. That's the lowest rating to date for the network's prelim broadcasts, which started last year.
The live broadcast featured two lightweight bouts, Nik Lentz's uneventful decision over Andre Winner, followed by Joe Lauzon's quick, one-sided victory over Gabe Ruediger. Audience numbers fell steadily through the one-hour show, from 1.2 million in the first quarter-hour to 1.06 million by the last 15 minutes.
Spike drew a 1.0 for men ages 18-to-49, leading that category among basic cable networks.
That was a weak show. The only attention getter was the Couture vs Toney fight.
