UFC 142 'Prelims' ratings on FX attract just 880,000 viewers, less than any event on Spike TV

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) kicked off its deal with FX by broadcasting a live two-hour "Prelims" special for the UFC 142: "Aldo vs. Mendes" event this past Sat., Jan. 14, 2012, from the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Well the ratings are in ... and they're not pretty.

The first episode on the new network reeled in just 880,000 viewers, which is lower than any "Prelims" special broadcast that aired on Spike TV, according to MMAWeekly.com. This in comparison to the final preliminary card broadcast on Spike at UFC 141 that drew 1.8 million viewers back on Dec. 30.

There will, of course, be a transition period as fans get used to the switch from Spike TV to FX. Both cable channels are in roughly 100 million homes but the former spent years cultivating an audience with 14 season of The Ultimate Fighter as well as countless specials and other assorted programming.

Baby steps, Maniacs.

Star-divide

The actual preliminary card broadcast featured four fights spread across two hours instead of the usual two and one. The action wasn't spectacular, to say the least, but it wasn't exactly dull.

Gabriel Gonzaga made a successful return to the UFC with his first round rear-naked choke submission over Ednaldo Oliveira while Mike Pyle made quick work of Ricardo Funch with a technical knockout win that took just over one minute.

The other two bouts -- Thiago Tavares vs. Sam Stout and Yuri Alcantara vs. Michihiro Omigawa -- both went to decision with Tavares and Alcantara emerging victorious unanimously in each respective bout.

Well who the fuck knows what FX is?

I will never pick another british fighter to beat Barboza. I’m a complete idiot for picking Etim. I lost due to one of the most vicious wheel kick ko’s i’ve ever seen. When i’m at home alone when my wife is not there, i occasionally finger my own asshole, whilst not even jerking it. I just love the feeling of it in my butt. I’m a homo. I suck dick for bus fair then walk home. I will never bet Cruz Jackson again, he is too amazing. I love him and am so gay for him and his stolen bike. I would like to form a formal request of fellatio for him because thats how much i’m on his dick.

No way! Just like biggant was saying plus the idea of Jax leading the club, I have no idea how that is going to go and how the others will respond.

Don’t know what he will or will not tell Tera about the situation. Also, it wasn’t Luther’s girl that is the issue, is is that she was the daughter of the big time gangsters in LA. So now, we will have the CIA backed cartel vs that huge LA gangster crime syndicate.

haha yeah, that's what I just answered biggant about the crime boss whose daughter it was.

Rest of the stuff of course I am wondering about as well, but no real cliffhangers. That’s just basic continuation of storylines.

I consider a cliffhanger when there is something going on at that very moment that carries right over in the next episode.

Either way, season 5 should be great.

I have heard speculation that the final roof scene in the last episode was supposed to be the view from Mike’s perspective, at least in part. Like he was standing in a stairwell looking at them, and you can supposedly hear him breathing or something. I haven’t really gone back to see if it’s accurate. But yes, he will undoubtedly come back into play.

It's not a good comparison...

Spike is more known than FX, 1 HR in comparison to two or whatever fx had. The name is not as exciting, except stout. Alot of people thought even the main event lacks names, as in other events.

So not a good comparison but certainly a good start

It was also 2 hours long instead of the regular 1

So if mmaweekly is drawing that number from the overall rating of the broadcast, it’s a bit skewed due to the first hour of unknown fighters. That and the second hour of fights weren’t exactly setting the world on fire (Stout-Tavares, Arantes-Carvalho).

Insulting staff and using the word "fag" are both completely inappropriate. So long.

3 reasons jump out to me

1) Too many cards therefore making the relevancy and awareness of Aldo UFC 142 almost abysmal to casual fans.

2) Hadn’t heard of FX until UFC got on board and I’m sure most Canadians or non Americans that weren’t hardcore didn’t know what channel would be picking them up their country.

3) Spike ahd UFC a long time to build the awareness that they show UFC. And lots of Unleashed reruns and commercials out the ying yang.

oh no. the sky is falling

..again.

mma reporting seems to be getting worse. complaining about too much mma, low sales and general over saturazation while on the other hand every ufc fight has a ‘break down’ of every fight about 3 times and 2 or 3 wrap up pieces.

really?

I went 0-2 against Phasebook. Why do I feel that I am just padding his record?" Next time I won’t pick a guy whose best weapon is a somersault against a real bad guy like Scarface.

SOA, Always Sunny, & Southland (season 4 premier last night on TNT) are the shows to watch.

I will never pick another british fighter to beat Barboza. I’m a complete idiot for picking Etim. I lost due to one of the most vicious wheel kick ko’s i’ve ever seen. When i’m at home alone when my wife is not there, i occasionally finger my own asshole, whilst not even jerking it. I just love the feeling of it in my butt. I’m a homo. I suck dick for bus fair then walk home. I will never bet Cruz Jackson again, he is too amazing. I love him and am so gay for him and his stolen bike. I would like to form a formal request of fellatio for him because thats how much i’m on his dick.

That's my favorite show of all time, nothing even comes close to that. I'd pay 500$ to erase my memories of that show, just so I can watch it again fresh.

It's great

How things work is also good.

I HIGHLY recommend checking out the new episode (season 8 episode 3) of Taboo that was on last night. It’s all about fighting and cultures all over the world.

From sanctioned MMA in the states, to boxing tents, to villages who meet once a year and fight to the death, to pride fights in Africa where they use the “glove” as a weapon (weighted and filled with glass).
