UFC on FOX 18 ratings down because Anthony Johnson is a destroyer of worlds

"Rumble" young man, rumble.

UFC on FOX 18 had good (but not great) ratings for the "Johnson vs. Bader" mixed martial arts (MMA) extravaganza, averaging a respectable 2,685,000 viewers last Saturday night (Jan. 30, 2016) inside Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

The show would have likely done right about the usual numbers except the main event with Anthony "Rumble" Johnson vs. Ryan Bader in a light heavyweight title contenders fight only lasted 86 seconds. The quick fight meant no time to build a rating, and more importantly, the main event ended well before 10 p.
