Right after The Ultimate Fighter: Live on FX this past Friday night the premiere of UFC Primetime: Jones Vs Evans aired, but it didn’t prove to be a ratings winner on the network.
The half-hour Primetime show delivered an audience of just 462,000 viewers, lower than we’ve seen in the past for debut episodes of these specials.
It caps off a dismal showing for the UFC on FX on Friday as TUF: Live also underperformed with just 947,000 viewers, the lowest in the history of the long-running show.
It’s unfortunate as the Primetime series is well produced and on this occasion did a nice job of recapping the intriguing tale of bad blood between former training partners Jones and Evans.
