Another UFC Fight Night show performs well in the ratings.
According to ShowBuzz Daily, UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs. Burns scored a 1.021 million viewers on the main card of ESPN. The five-fight card also saw August Sakai beat Blagoy Ivanov in the co-main event, Billy Quarantillo extend his six-fight winning streak, Roosevelt Roberts getting a submission win over Brok Weaver and Mackenzie Dern defeating Hannah Cifers.
The preliminary fight card that featured Katlyn Chookagian vs. Antonina Shevchenko saw 615,000 viewers. The six-fight line-up also saw Daniel Rodriguez defeat Gabriel Green, Jamahal Hill defeat Klidson Abreu, Brandon Royval defeat Tim Elliott, Casey Kenney defeat Louis Smolka and Chris Gutierrez defeat Vince Morales.
While the number is slightly down from UFC Fight Night: Harris vs. Overeem, which drew 1.198 million viewers, this is still a win for the promotion who started off strong with UFC 249, which had over 700,000 plus buys. That super show saw Justin Gaethje become the new UFC Interim Lightweight Champion and Henry Cejudo beat Dominick Cruz for the UFC Bantamweight Championship. The next UFC show will be this Saturday at the Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Amanda Nunes vs. Felicia Spencer for the Featherweight title headlining the pay-per-view.
