UFC 258 Preliminary Card Averages 794,000 Viewers on ESPN

The UFC 258 preliminary card attracted 794,000 viewers to ESPN on
Saturday night, according to
ShowBuzz Daily
.

The two-hour prelims aired on ESPN from 8 p.m. ET to 10 p.m. ET and
saw Anthony
Hernandez
submit Rodolfo
Vieira
in the featured matchup on that portion of the card. The
prelims also aired on ESPN+, but viewership figures aren’t
available for the streaming platform.

UFC 258 took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and saw Kamaru
Usman
retain his welterweight crown with a third-round stoppage
of Gilbert
Burns
in the evening’s headliner. Outside of the main event,
the card didn’t have the usual star power of a pay-per-view
offering.

As expected, the ratings for the UFC 258 prelims came in below
those of UFC 257, which drew an audience of 1.433 million as a
lead-in for the rematch between Conor
McGregor
and Dustin
Poirier
. Still, viewership for UFC 258 surpassed that of the
prelims for the promotion’s final four pay-per-view cards of
2020.
