With no more major live sports events in the U.S., ESPN turned its channel over this weekend to taped UFC and WWE events.
UFC had an 11-hour marathon on Saturday, with the first eight hours, from Noon to 8 p.m., built around airing many of the greatest modern fights in company history. Built around classics like both Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz fights, the first Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson fight, Robbie Lawler vs. Rory MacDonald, and the first Mauricio “Shogun” Rua vs. Dan Henderson fight, the audience ranged from 327,000 to 410,000 viewers.
