| This past weekend's four-fight UFC on FX 1 event, which was the first UFC main card to air on the FOX-owned FX, averaged 1.3 million viewers. Additionally, the night's six-bout preliminary card averaged 148,000 viewers on FUEL TV. MMAjunkie.com ( www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the ratings information with industry sources. UFC on FX 1 took place Jan. 20 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. Jim Miller submitted fellow lightweight contender Melvin Guillard in the night's main event, and Josh Neer did the same to welterweight vet Duane "Bang" Ludwig in the co-headliner. Additionally, the show marked the debut of the UFC's new "B team" broadcasting duo of Jon Anik and Kenny Florian. The two-hour main card, which boasted four fights on FX, averaged a 1.19 rating among men 18-49 and a 1.21 among men 18-34. The three-hour preliminary card, which featured Jorge Rivera's successful retirement fight against middleweight Eric Schafer, featured six bouts and was one of FUEL TV's most-watched programs to date. The UFC recently moved much of its live-event programming from Spike TV to FX and FUEL TV thanks to the seven-year deal with FOX. By comparison, UFC Fight Night and The Ultimate Fighter Finale events on Spike TV averaged approximately 1.8 million to 2.2 million viewers in recent years. A recent "UFC Prelims" special for UFC 142 on averaged 880,000 FX viewers prior to the night's pay-per-view main card. | |

| Wow, I thought it would be luck to break a million, good numbers for the first Friday event on a quite, on paper, card. Glad those 1.3 got to see such an exciting group of fights. | |

| Nice, I figured by the last FX numbers that went head to head vs Tebow that they would break the million mark this time. That number will only go up. | |

| And on the flip side, Spike's MMA counter programming averages 700K viewers http://mmajunkie.com/news/27101/spike-tvs-ufc-on-fx-1-counter-programming-averages-700k-viewers.mma?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+mmajunkie+%28MMAjunkie.com+Feed%29Spike TV's two-hour slot of counter-programming for this past weekend's UFC on FX 1 event averaged 699,500 viewers. A 9 p.m. ET/PT "UFC Unleashed" episode averaged 648,000 viewers, and the 10 p.m. ET/PT one-hour episode averaged 751,000 viewers. MMAjunkie.com ( www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the ratings information with industry sources. UFC on FX 1 took place this past Saturday, Jan. 20, at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. As MMAjunkie.com reported earlier today, the FX-televised main card averaged 1.3 million viewers, and the prelims on FUEL TV averaged 148,000 viewers. Overall, the Spike TV counter-programming ran from 7 p.m. to midnight ET. The "UFC Unleashed" episodes heavily featured past bouts with Mevin Guillard, who suffered a submission loss to Jim Miller in the UFC on FX 1 headliner. Spike TV owns the UFC's library rights through the end of this year, and officials said counter-programming will be the norm throughout the year. "TUF," for example, moves to FX with live Friday-night tournament fights this season, but Spike TV will counter-program with highlights from the past 14 seasons of the long-running reality series. The UFC recently moved much of its live-event programming from Spike TV to FX and FUEL TV thanks to the seven-year deal with FOX. FX and Spike TV are available in approximately 100 million homes while FUEL TV is in approximately 36 million. By comparison, UFC Fight Night and The Ultimate Fighter Finale events on Spike TV averaged approximately 1.8 million to 2.2 million viewers in recent years.

| It shouldn't take long for the newb masses to figure out Spike has reruns and FX has new content. I think FX will be having the old Spike numbers before summer. | |
