Chan Sung Jung came through with a great knockout finish in his UFC return this past weekend, and he also proved himself in the marketability department.
Saturday's UFC Fight Night, headlined by Jung's win over Dennis Bermudez, averaged 1,158,000 viewers, the best number for a Fight Night broadcast in one year. It was the ninth-highest in FS 1 history.
The number was drawn even with the disadvantage from a ratings perspective of a main event ending in the first round.
In addition, the prelims, headlined by Curtis Blaydes vs. Adam Milstead, did 834,000 viewers, were also the ninth-most in the history of the station.
