The UFC 116 live preliminary fights from this past Saturday night that aired on Spike TV leading into the pay-per view broadcast scored a final cable rating of 1.0, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Despite the name value of a Brock Lesnar PPV show and the rumored one-million-plus buys estimates, that prelim rating on Spike is actually a little lower than those specials usually draw.
