The UFC 244 prelims had a solid showing on ESPN2, attracting an average audience of 910,000 viewers to the network, according to ShowBuzz Daily.

UFC 244 took place at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday and saw Jorge Masvidal defeat Nate Diaz for the “BMF” title in the evening’s main event. The card was regarded as one of the year’s most highly-anticipated pay-per-view offerings, and that was reflected in the viewership for the preliminary card.
