UFC Fight Night 15 Scores Strong Ratings

Despite a weaker main card, Fight Night 15 did a stronger overall rating than Fight Night 13, which was headlined by Kenny Florian vs. Joe Lauzon:

The evening's two-hour broadcast averaged an audience of 1.8 million viewers throughout the night, and a 1.6 rating in the coveted "men ages 18-49" bracket.

It's interesting to note that the 18-34 rating is the same as it was for Fight Night 13.  This suggests that the recent trend of older viewers watching UFC events is continuing.

Update:  The overall rating was 1.4, which is a very good number.

I think it did stronger ratings than 13, because EXC on CBS has spread the sport and made mma far more popular than it was previously.

Although, UFN 15 was down considerably from UFN 14, which Silva headlined going against Affliction.

Yeah but it’s not a direct comparison at all. It was a major Saturday night show that they promoted more than most PPV. The appropriate comparison is to the last Wednesday night UFN before a TUF premiere.
