MMAPayout has the news:
the 10/1 episode of the Ultimate Fighter on Spike drew a 0.8 rating (1.1 million viewers). That is the lowest rating in the series’ history. The program drew quarter hours of 0.80, 0.66, 0.79, and 0.90. The key demographic numbers were a a 1.13 in M18-34 and a 1.04 in M18-49.
Man that's pretty bad considering that this is only the 3rd show into the season. However, one has to think that Zuffa will be revving up the promotional engine to hype up the show for next week. If fact, it's already happening...you can see a preview of next weeks drama here.
It disturbs me that Zuffa will air guys acting like complete idiots in an effort to gain viewers. I realize the fighters are on lock down with no contact with the outside world for 6 weeks and all that. However, they should show better self control in my opinion. Also, Zuffa should do a better job of depicting these guys as professionals, opposed to immature balls of testosterone.

I hate it when I see people like Browning act like complete idiots.
6 weeks isn’t even that long…especially when you’re spending a lot of time training, fighting and recovering.
I wish they would show more of the training sessions and less of the house-wrecking.
(btw, Ryan Bader looked amazing in that first fight)

It’s just nothing too compelling anymore, I think they should do another Comeback season and give some guys either on their way out of the UFC or trying to get back in the UFC a chance, it’ll be much more worthwhile IMO

I don’t know..I didn’t like the comeback season…those mofo’s were tired…lol. What they need to do is put on a weekly fight night and stop bullshitting…lol
