↵The stats show that ratings actually dropped during the last half hour of the show’s alloted two hour time-slot on CBS – though in fact the show actually ran on longer than that so we will have to wait until later on in the week to find out how the rest of the show fared.
To give you a rough idea of where those numbers compare to previous MMA events on the CBS network. Please note these are the final ratings for these events which tend to be higher than the overnights.
• Third EliteXC on CBS: Averaged 4.56 million
• Strikeforce: Fedor Vs Rogers On CBS: Averaged 4.042 million (3.79 million in the overnights)
• Strikeforce Nashville: Averaged 2.63 million (based on the overnights)
The figures do not bode well for Strikeforce’s long-term future on the CBS network
Strikeforce: Nashville Ratings Disappoint

↵This was not a fight card that was going to be appealing to casual fans of the sport. All three fights went a somewhat boring five rounds with very little “explosive action.” I suppose the silver lining is that less people got a chance to see the crazy fight at the end of the broadcast.
