Holy Crap. UFC Ratings last night

[Smokinblues]

was a 3.1. The ECW Striptease was a 1.7 despite all the hype.

UFC rating is HUGE



- Fight did a 9.7 rating in males 25-34
- Fight did an 8.0 rating in males 18-34
- Show drew 4.2 million viewers overall, crushing Smackdown's CW debut
- Fight did 5.7 million viewers, more than watched Raw or Smackdown last week
- Show drew more 18-34 men than any show on broadcast OR cable all day
- Highest rating for a night in males 18-34 and 18-49 in Spike history
- Broke the spike.tv website one-day unique viewers record
- Broke the old UFC quarter hour viewership record by 2 million viewers

Nice. Hopefully they do more really big matches like that in the future.

as much as i'm enjoying the new ecw, i'm happy to see their viewers shit all over that stupid ass strip poker garbage. the worst part was that they would cut back to the strip poker in the middle of matches.

What were the ratings of the other UFC fight nights on Spike? Is the previous high 1.1?

maybe not title fights or a-level match ups, but i could see them with some b-level fighters like forrest, swick, fisher, congo, etc. not likely that any of those names will touch something as big as tito beating shamrock into retirement, but still enough to pull a solid 2+ rating, i'm betting.
