The two-hour broadcast drew a 3.1 overall rating, with the main event of Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock fighting for a third time drawing a 4.3 rating. Quoting MMA Weekly's Ivan Trembow, "That breaks down to an amazing 5.7 million viewers for the Ortiz vs. Shamrock fight. This shatters the UFC's previous record for the number of people watching a UFC fight at any given time."The overall ratings record would not be matched until UFC 75 on September 8, 2007.
