25 million…WORLDWIDE….is sort of small….I mean the UFC is available in like 400 million homes worldwide or something like that…they gave the numbers for Russia…why didn’t they give the #’s for:

agreed
25 million worlwide IS SMALL. if the ufc only got 25 million viewers for a free show on network tv, that would be a disaster. they could prolly hit that #in north america alone. i know it was reported that ufc 105 was being brodcasted in over 130 countries and was available in over 400 MILLION HOMES!. no way they did less than 25 million. this might be a record for m-1 or SF, but…… not trying to be a party pooper, just trying to be realisitc. :)

Are they proud of that? Pride shows did more numbers than that. And, that was in Japan, alone. I think K-1 NY eve shows deliver more than that.

That’s a terrible number, why the hell would they try to brag about a poor result like that?
