The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated season premiere averages just 200,000 viewers

It’s no secret that The Ultimate Fighter is not as popular as it used to be, but it’s never been this bad in terms of ratings.

Wednesday’s premiere of the UFC’s long-running reality series averaged just 200,000 viewers, with a rating of 0.08, good for 125th among all cable television broadcasts that evening. Unbelievably, this was the most-watched program on FOX Sports 1, as it was a light day of content for the network. It’s still the lowest rated and least-watched TUF season opener in the show’s history.

Once upon a time, the UFC used to have live Fight Night cards as a lead-in for The Ultimate Fighter.
