WWE Smackdown ratings rise again, beat out UFC on FX 1 on Jan. 20
by Geno Mrosko on Jan 23, 2012 7:00 PM EST in Smackdown
Remember all that talk of WWE potentially moving Smackdown to a live format on Tuesday night's because it didn't want to directly compete with UFC on Friday nights once it starts its Ultimate Fighter (TUF) series on FX?
Well, the two went head on this past Friday (Jan. 20, 2012) when Smackdown aired opposite UFC on FX 1: "Guillard vs. Miller." And the winner is ... WWE.
First, the Smackdown ratings (via PWTorch):
WWE's "Sin City Smackdown" on Friday, January 20 scored a 2.14 rating, holding up well after the previous Smackdown surged 21 percent to a 2.18 rating.
Smackdown averaged 3.3 million viewers, up six percent compared to the previous week and the most Smackdown viewers since 3.6 million viewers on February 25, 2011 nearly one year ago.
As opposed to the UFC on FX 1 ratings, which saw the event average 1.3 million viewers, including a 1.19 rating in the coveted male 18-49 demo and a 1.20 in males 18-34.Liquidrob's Top 10 Fighters Rankings

UFC prelims on Fuel did 140k lol.
Look, UFC has some work to do to establish these new networks as "the home for MMA". Melvin f'n Guillard is not going to get that done.
Belltor is going to have a nice built in MMA audience. BigBucs is the kind of guy who really drives these ratings, it's not the hardcore people like us who know the time & date of every show, it's Joe Channel Flipper and Joe Casual.
There was a guy on the Metlzer board, and keep in mind this is a person who PAYS for inside industry information, and he said he watched Spike for a half hour before he realized he had the wrong channel on. People are not nearly as aware of things as you think they are. 99% of fans don't think about this shit every day like we do, they just turn it on then turn it off.Comment
