FOX UFC ratings hit a new record-low over the weekend.
Saturday’s UFC on FOX 30 earned a 1.0 rating and 1.68 million viewers, marking the lowest rated and least-watched mixed martial arts telecast ever on primetime broadcast television.
The previous lows were a 1.1 and 1.77 million for UFC on FOX 27 in January.
The last eight UFC on FOX cards rank among the nine lowest rated and least-watched MMA telecasts on primetime broadcast TV.
The telecast, which peaked with 2.34 million viewership during the Dustin Poirier–Eddie Alvarez main event, declined 20% in ratings and 18% in viewership from last year’s July card (1.2, 2.05M). It also declined 20% and 18% respectively from the previous UFC on FOX card in April (1.2, 2.02M).
UFC on FOX scored a 0.6 rating in adults 18-49, down a tick from last July and tied as a series-low. It also scored a 0.4 in adults 18-34 (-20%).
On a light sporting weekend, UFC was the top sporting event on any network in adults 18-49. Sunday’s NASCAR on NBCSN was a distant second at a 0.46. Overall, UFC ranked fourth for the weekend behind NASCAR and the third and final round of the PGA Tour Canadian Open.
