UFC sets unexpected record with Sage Northcutt fight

[La Paix]

As expected, UFC 200 weekend was a big one for UFC on television.

They set one record that wasn't expected, set a demo record in 18-49s, and had a shot at setting a third if the circumstances were different. The week also showed major increases for The Ultimate Fighter.

The prelims for UFC 200, headlined by Julianna Pena vs. Cat Zingano, did 1,786,000 viewers. The number was the third-best for prelims since the move to FS 1, trailing UFC 194 (1,931,000) and UFC 196 (1,843,000). Those shows were headlined by Conor McGregor's fights with Jose Aldo and Nate Diaz, respectively. The Zingano vs. Pena FS 1 main event did 2,046,000 viewers.

I would agree the prelims were great, Sage however was again gifted a decision win over the lowest tier fighter in his division.

I missed this fight- the highlights they showed made it seem like it was an impressive win for Sage. Should have known better...

LMAO!

His grappling IQ is level -10.
He will get tapped out again, against a decent grappler.
