The second UFC prelims presentation of FX did a big rating.
As reported by MMAJunkie.com, the event's ratings were up 59% from the UFC 142 prelims, scoring 1.4 million viewers.
Although the two hour broadcast failed to break the top 10 in UFC prelim ratings, coming in at #11, it's the best rating for a prelim special since the FOX era began.
The broadcast included Matt Riddle defeating Henry Martinez, Matt Brown knocking out Chris Cope, the controversial Edwin Figueroa/Alex Caceres bout, and Dustin Poirier submitting newcomer Max Holloway.
One has to imagine that FX and FOX are very happy with the ratings boost.
