Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) closed out the year with one of the most successful “Prelims” telecasts in the history of FOX Sports 1, thanks to a four-fight lead in to UFC 207: “Nunes vs. Rousey” last Friday night (Dec. 30, 2016) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Topping the preliminary line up was the 170-pound showdown between Neil Magny and Johny Hendricks, a hotly-contensted slug-a-thon that ended with “Bigg Rigg” going down on points.
The four-fight preliminary card peaked at 1.8 million viewers, which came in the show’s final 15 minutes, during Neil Magny’s victory over ex-welterweight champion Johny Hendricks on Friday at T-Mobile Arena.
