The second episode of The Ultimate Fighter 20 premiered six days ago and the show had an average audience of 574,000 viewers in the Live+SD ratings, which was up from the 536,000 viewers in the debut episode.
When it comes to the +3 DVR numbers for the second episode, the show gained 372,000 viewers and now has a total audience of 946,000 viewers. This number is up 7 percent from the 881,000 viewers in the +3 DVR numbers for the debut episode two weeks ago.
In the previous season of the reality show on Fox Sports 1, The Ultimate Fighter 18 gained 250,000 viewers (+34%) and The Ultimate Fighter 19 had an additional 278,000 viewers (57%) in the +3 DVR numbers.
With the update ratings, the average viewership through two episodes in the preliminary ratings (Live+SD) is 555,000, while the +3 DVR average is 913,500. Obviously, these are positive signs for a show and just shows that a good portion of the viewers check out the show on their DVR instead of live.
The third episode of The Ultimate Fighter 20 will premiere tomorrow night at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on Fox Sports 1 and a preview of the show is available below.
