    Any new fighter that does not post street fights is a fool. Look what it did for Kimbo's career.

    With Kimbosis's successful record in teh octagon and on Ultimate Fighter, supporting youtube fans inflated him based on his performance as the backyard sensation with sweaty dumpy wannabee hardcores. Quickly shift over to Dana "our HW division has the best fighters in the world they fight 3 times a year!" Theres LOL all over if you look into it a bit.

    For whoever posted that the entire world was watching Fedor thats why if got more ratings. Pretty sure GSP and Bisping fought in UFC 100 so there where plenty of people watching all over the world

    This is 4 FREE TV, NOT PPV. Guys these matches were watched bc they were free... if ufc 100 (for example) was free it would obliterate these rating

    Do you Americans realize these are American ratings? I can tell you the rest of the world was glued to the tv for the Fedor fight and it easily had more people watching then UFC 100.

    Americans maybe ignorant to who Fedor is but to the rest of the world he is a mma god and has been for 10 years.

    These figures just represent US viewers. Mafia-1 promotions along side Strikeforce, broadcast the Fedor vs Rogers card in Japan and Russia as well.I heard the numbers worldwide were around 11.7 million.Fedor is new to the 'casual fan'...as is Strikeforce.

    wtf
    Bisping? wtf....

    What about GSP v BJ 2? Machida v Rua? Liddel v Rampage? Liddel v Tito......damn....

    Feel sorry for those who tuned in for a fair few of those top ten PPVs because MMA in general has many many more cards and headliners have given me butterflies watching......

    Ahhh well MMA is getting bigger and bigger so eventually this list will fizzle out and hopefully some great fights will be on the list...

    maybe Machida v Rua 2, Maybe Silva v Fedor!!! Now that'll be.....wait for it....... Aweeeee-phukin-some!

    Problem is, unless you were familiar with MMA, you might not have known who Fedor and Rogers were. Obviously everyone here knows, but Joe public? I don't think so.

    the kimbo nelson fight isnt classed as a reall mma fight, the fight doesnt go on the records so it doesnt count

    or maybe Fedor should post street fights on youtube lol This world is insane.

    Fedor is russian and pretty unknown to the casual fans, that's the reason. Hopefully Fedor is well known now and will draw bigger numbers next time. I hope for mma's sake.
