|  Ratings Are in for UFC Fight Night 21 and The Ultimate Fighter Season 11 Debut
Ratings Are in for UFC Fight Night 21 and The Ultimate Fighter Season 11 Debut - Bloody Elbow Quote:
MMA Mania has the skinny on UFN 21:
Quote:
(Spike TV) today announced that the event drew an average of 1.6 million viewers, with the viewership peak coming in at two million for the main event between Kenny "KenFlo" Florian and Takanori "The Fireball Kid" Gomi.
Those numbers are right on par with the previous Fight Night offering, UFN 20: Maynard vs. Diaz, which averaged 1.7 million viewers while also peaking at two million.
| And MMA Payout has the numbers on TUF 11:
Quote:
MMAPayout.com has learned that Wednesday's debut episode of The Ultimate Fighter 11 earned a 1.5 HH rating with an average audience of 1.9 million viewers on Spike TV. The debut was the #2 rated program in the country amongst the M18-34 (2.1) and M18-49 (1.9).
If you recall, the debut of TUF 10 earned a 2.9HH with a 5.3 in the M18-34 and 4.3 in the M18-49. Thus the Kimbo Effect is in full effect. It remains to be seen whether the ratings will dip down to the 1.0 mark that TUF 9 experienced throughout much of the season, but it probably wouldn't surprise anyone.
| All signs continue to indicate that the UFC is doing banner business on Spike TV but they are also holding steady at a plateau they reached in the middle of last year. The kind of ratings that Kimbo Slice brought to The Ultimate Fighter are clearly a one-time deal. It remains to be seen how many of the people who tuned in to watch Mr. Slice for free on Spike TV will follow him to PPV at UFC 113.

I was part of that demographic. I'm a fan of the show and I think it works. I dont see TUF ever going away.

Thank to a DVR I've seen all the fights but TUF gets a little old for me to watch the complete show, and hyping Kimbo may get a nother shot added one more nail to the coffin for me. It really does help give the fighter a face with the name so I see no reason to stop it. Something diffrent would be nice just don't know what exactly.

I watch TUF, I dont care to much about what happens in the house,but I do enjoy the fights, seeing how the fighters evolve from their first fight to the finaly and in between. I also think its great that fighters get a chance to showcase their talents and get a chance at the big time. I just wish more fighters would be kept around,like in season 1.

I know it's stupid to judge fighters based on their records, but after season 5, when I started to see alot of guys come on the show with records like 4-2, 7-4 or even 0-0, I started losing interest. Because of that, I haven't been watching on a regular basis since season 5. However, the guys on this season were looking pretty good and had much better records so I might be more inclined to watch.

I have to say i'm suprised that K.flo v Gomi drew in the same amount as Diaz v Maynard as Florian and Gomi are two big names from two different backrounds, The ultimate fighter is not a show i could imagine anyone but mma fans watch, or at least soon to be fans. Having said that it looks like it's gonna be a good season plenty of strong strikers as well as some good wrestling displayed, not much killer jits yet sadly.

I wouldn't say I've always liked TUF but I have def. tolerated it just because it's the most cons. MMA programming out there. I've watched every season and while some have lacked a little in the talent department I don't think that is the case here. We got some real animals on the show and I'm excited to see how it all plays out.

after watching the first show of TUF this season looks to be a good one with some exciting fights and 2 coaches who generally dont like each other. even without the will he stay or will he go drama this season looks to be one of the best in recent memory

This season should be good - looks like there are a lot of explosive fighters from the first show.
