UFC Fight Night Argentina Prelims Earn Better Ratings Than Main Card on FS1

In a rare occurrence, the UFC Fight Night 140 preliminary card outdrew the main card this past Saturday night on Fox Sports 1.

According to ShowBuzz Daily , the UFC Fight Night 140 prelims – which featured four bouts from 8 p.m. ET to 10 p.m. ET -- averaged 707,000 viewers on FS1, while the six-bout main card averaged 632,000. Prior to the UFC event, FS1 televised a college football game between Michigan and Indiana, which could have resulted in a larger audience at the beginning of the card. That game averaged 2.273 million viewers.
