    UFC Fight Night 22 Ratings Disappoint, Lowest in series history

    by Matt Bishop on Sep 17, 2010 1:02 PM EDT

    S-pike TV has released the numbers for Ultimate Fight Night 22 -- a 0.9, which the Wrestling Observer notes is the lowest ever for a Fight Night live on S-pike TV.

    MMAJunkie provides more details on the show, which peaked at 1.6 million viewers for the main event between Nate Marquardt and Rousimar Palhares:

    The Fight Night drew an average of 1.2 million viewers and peaked with 1.6 million viewers. This is down sharply from UFN 20 and 21 which both peaked at over 2 million viewers.

    Although the number is startling to look it, it doesn't come as much of a surprise considering the nature of this card, which had a ton of changes and neither fighter in the main event is considered a draw (and Marquardt's last main event on S-pike, at the first Ultimate Fight Night in 2005, was a universally panned fight).

    The Observer reports the debut of "The Ultimate Fighter 12" drew a 1.3 rating.

      Yeah it was pretty boring, but I did enjoy the Escudero-Oliveria fight.

        Damn I feel like a punk cuz I was at the fair wit a biitch so I only made it for the main event lol. And Nate Marquardt is not even a draw. In my opinion the Escudero-Oliveria fight shouldn't have been co-main event but should have been the opening fight to get off to a hell of a ****. Needed a bigger main event. But that fight could of been incredibly boring as I thought it would but thank god it wasn.t

        Still tryin to catch that Kyle Kingsbury fight that happened on the prelims. Thought that fight was the biggest joke ever because both fighters are terrible but I heard those mother****ers went at it! lol

          I'm not surprised since most of the fights went the distance. Fans want to see fights finished, not go to the scorecards.
