What do you know? WKR completely called it.
Spike TV will show a replay of UFC 110 on April 17th during Strikeforce's CBS show.
How much damage can UFC 110, a fight card that reportedly drew under 250,000 pay-per view buys, really do to CBS' Strikeforce card?
If past history is any indication replays of numbered UFC events typically draw around 2 million viewers. The lone exception was "UFC Main Events", a compilation replay of recent pay-per view fights to counter Strikeforce's CBS debut. That replay drew 1.2 million viewers. Strikeforce's second CBS offering doesn't have Fedor so it stands to reason that Spike will see higher ratings than 1.2 million viewers but will it outdraw the replay of UFC 94 or UFC 100? Will it even affect CBS' bottom line as the network rolled out NCAA Tournament commercials and the fabled NCIS: Los Angeles bump? Alright, that last one might be an exaggeration...
Tell us what your viewing plans are.
