Last Saturday night in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the UFC held its final event on the flagship FOX network, as the promotion nears the start of a five-year agreement with ESPN and the ESPN+ streaming service.
Despite fast nationals coming in at more than 2.1 million viewers, the overall average for UFC on FOX 31 was actually 1,828,000, with the main event between Al Iaquinta and Kevin Lee peaking at just about 2.4 million viewers during the 10:15 PM-10:30 PM ET window, good for third out of this year’s five FOX main events. It is, however, the least-watched December UFC on FOX main card in the promotion’s history.
