he UFC's second-ever "UFC Prelims" special on FX drew 1.4 million viewers.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today learned of the numbers, which mark a sharp increase from the series' FX debut, from an industry source.

The latest special, the promotion's second since ending a long-running partnership with Spike TV, coincided with this past Saturday's UFC 143 event and featured four-preliminary card contests during the two-hour broadcast.

The viewership number failed to break the top-10 mark for "UFC Prelims" specials but was a significant improvement (59 percent) from the 880,000 viewers that watched January's UFC 142 special.

UFC 143 took place this past Saturday, Feb. 4, at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. In addition to the two-hour "UFC Prelims" special, the main card aired on pay-per-view, and two other prelim fights streamed on Facebook.

The FX special saw Dustin Poirier submit Max Holloway, Edwin Figueroa decision Alex Caceres, Matt Brown stop Chris Cope and Matt Riddle defeat Henry Martinez.

Awaiting Spikes response...
