Overnight Ratings: Fox Sees Slight Bump For Final UFC Telecast

The final UFC telecast on the Fox broadcast network drew a 1.5 overnight rating on Saturday night, which saw Al Iaquinta win in a decision in the main event against Kevin Lee. That figure is up from a 1.4 for the UFC/Fox card on the same night last year, which featured Rafael dos Anjos-Robbie Lawler. UFC cards will move to ESPN starting in ’19.

VEGAS BABY: ABC on Saturday afternoon drew a 2.3 overnight for Fresno State’s win over Arizona State in the Mitsubishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl. That is the bowl’s lowest figure since a 1.7 for Colorado State-BYU in ’14. Last year, Boise State-Oregon drew a 2.4 overnight on ABC.
