Payout Perspective:
Impressive ratings considering the choices on television on Saturday with The Belmont, NHL Stanley Cup Finals, MLB games and the Sergio Martinez-Miguel Cotto PPV. Benson Henderson headlined the card as he was able to choke out Rustam Khabilov. Henderson seems to draw great ratings on television (Fox and now FS1) but it doesn’t seem to translate to PPV for one reason or another. This card, ratings-wise is just below the inaugural night of FS1 (UFC FN 26: Sonnen-Rua) and a Saturday night February card (UFC FN 36: Machida-Mousasi).
