Saturday was a record-breaking night for the UFC, and it almost was too on the television front. \u00a0Sports TV Ratings reports<\/a>\u00a0that the prelims for UFC 205, headlined by Frankie Edgar vs Jeremy Stephens, averaged 1.801 million viewers on Saturday night, 1.106 million of them in the coveted 18-49 year-old viewer demographic. \u00a0College football was the only other sport to top the UFC prelims on cable on Saturday, and the UFC was second only to the Mississippi State-Alabama football game in the 18-49 demographic for all shows on cable for the day.<\/p>\n

1.801 million viewers is the promotion’s third-highest rated event since they moved to FS1<\/a>, topped only by two other prelims for Conor McGregor pay-per-views – UFC 189 (1.931 million) and UFC 196 (1.863 million).<\/p>\n
