Well it wouldn't really surprise me. The show is being made more for Brazilian TV than US TV. Plus it's all in Portuguese and is being done in subtitles for the US. And no one in the US wants to watch subtitled TV.
I like Fuel TV but not everyone has easy access to that channel. Considering it is mismarked on my DirecTV guide as a repeat of Friday's TUF Live, it'll be hard to set up on DVR. I'll say 50K - 75K viewers. Episode 2 will probably double that.

I think damn near everyone that enjoys mma wants to be able to have easier access to Fuel! Not sure where he was going with that comment.
I want to watch fuel tv for the ufc. Whats weird to me is that fox sports net(which i do have) shows a lot of the same as what fuel tv offers so why not just do all the stuff on fox sports net. I mean fox is in the damn name. I never even knew that fuel had anything to do with fox. Fuel sounds like it shoudl be a racing network with drag, stock, indy, f--- mario kart when they got nothen else to put on. Fx gets the bigger fights anyway, so why not just switch over to fox sports net. Really what do you want people to do (that have to), pay for a product on a network even though a better version of that same product is already for free on fx and sometimes fox.
If i can watch the Heat play the Bulls on espn, but have to pay to watch the Cavs vs Bobcats, im goin to say f--- you cause i dont care to much about those two teams. Yeah that Irving kid is getting pritty good and might be somebody some day and ive always liked Corry Maggiettie, still doesnt compare to Lebron, Wade, Bosh vs Rose,Boozer,Deng in a race for 1st. Hope you guys get my point. I love the ufc and the nba but some fights and some games dont intrest me.
so what does that leave for the U.S. audence(spelt wrong). Those numbers still havent come out yet. Im glad it did so good down there. Wish the usa version could do that here. We cant even do that for the last fox card and thats a huge network.
Well you can also watch it on UFC.tv for free, so there you go. Audience viewing habits these days are so segmented.
Sean44, Fox owns Fuel TV and they want to use UFC branding to help grow the channel much like how Disney wants to use Marvel branding to help grow Disney XD.
Remember the show is primarily made for Brazilian TV anyway not US TV. That's what TUF Live is for.
