PrintDana White announces the news on his Twitter account:
danawhiteufcTuf 10 premier did 4.1 million viewers last nite!!!! Thank you all very much. You are the best fans in sports!!!
Some more information from F4WOnline.com:
Last night's show did a 2.9 rating with 4.1 million viewers, making it not only the most-watched episode in history (old record was 2.8 million viewers for the final episode of season 3), but also was the highest-rated debut for an original series in Spike history.
I don't think it can be stated how incredible this number is. To beat the previous best by 1.3 million viewers is something else. We'll see if the number will nosedive or not, but it's safe to say the UFC's gamble with Kimbo Slice has paid off.

Nah...
I dont think the show’s jumped the shark… reinventing/ changing things up doesnt always mean jumping the shark.
TUF 10’s first episode has been one of the most entertaining. Im happy it did so well
I flagged this on accident. My bad.
Anyway, when you the show has a special intro for a contestant that is not a mixed martial artist, it has jumped the shark.
...some call me "el mexicutioner"...
we will see...
Im excited as all hell for this season tho. At the very least to see how Kimbo fare’s against guys who’ve been doing this a long time…

Thanks man...
I’ve been a lurker for a long time now (will probably remain that way with an occasional post) since mma4real.net… I’m from Vegas, and while this is North Carolina MMA blog site… I come here before Sherdog or any other major fighting website.
