(People don't line up like they used to see a nose broken by a sledge hammer)
MMA Payout reports that the debut episode of The Ultimate Fighter season 11 drew an average audience of 1.9 million viewers. That's 2 million less viewers than TUF 10's debut episode and 600,000 less viewers than that season's lowest rated episodes.
But this isn't unexpected. For better or worse Kimbo Slice draws eyeballs to the tube better than anyone else in MMA right now. Thus it comes as no surprise that TUF 11's ratings are more on par with TUF 9 and TUF 8.
Also, fans can (and should) check out UltimateFighter.com for all the preliminary fights uncut.

The first episode of this season was incredibly good. Very action packed. I could not believe how bad that dude’s nose was broken. His nasal area was literally collapsed. If I were you guys I’d try to score an interview with him to see how he is doing.
What about the illegal hammer fists in the fight prior. Rosenthall let that guy throw atleast 6 illegal blows to the back of the head, causing the other guy to lose because he couldn’t see. IMO, that should have been a no brainer, DQ.
I noticed that too
I was like " he’s hitting that guy in the back of the head" Then he says he can’t see, well no shit. I thought the reffing was pretty inconsistent. But I guess that comes with the show. .
