The prelims on Saturday before UFC 241 drew 817,000 viewers on ESPN, a number that has to be considered disappointing since it led into arguably the biggest show so far this year.
The number was only sixth out of the eight pay-per-view prelims since the UFC moved to ESPN in January.
The prelims had no major names, but did have a very significant bantamweight division fight with Cory Sandhagen beating Raphael Assuncao.
Still, the prelims peak at 949,000 was for the final fight with Khama Worthy’s first-round knockout win over Devonte Smith.
