Sunday’s UFC Fight Night, built around McGregor’s fight with Dennis Siver, drew 2,751,000 viewers on average and peaked with 3,162,000 viewers for the main event. Those numbers blew away the previous UFC record on FOX Sports 1, set the night of the launch, on August 17, 2013, for the Chael Sonnen vs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua show, which averaged 1,780,000 viewers and did 2,270,000 viewers for the main event.
The viewership number was the highest for a UFC event on cable since Dec. 5, 2009, a Spike special that included a Kimbo Slice vs. Houston Alexander fight.
