Despite a late change to the main event, and competition from the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. pay-per-view, the UFC’s latest card on ESPN still managed to produce solid ratings for the promotion.
According to the Nielsen Ratings System, the card headlined by Anthony Smith vs. Devin Clark ultimately averaged 1.055 million viewers over two hours after shifting the broadcast to ESPN following the conclusion of a college football game between Texas A&M and LSU. The UFC card also earned a .38 rating in the coveted 18 to 49 year old demographic.
