UFC 258 took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and saw Kamaru Usman retain his welterweight crown with a third-round stoppage of Gilbert Burns in the evening’s headliner. Outside of the main event, the card didn’t have the usual star power of a pay-per-view offering.
As expected, the ratings for the UFC 258 prelims came in below those of UFC 257, which drew an audience of 1.433 million as a lead-in for the rematch between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. Still, viewership for UFC 258 surpassed that of the prelims for the promotion’s final four pay-per-view cards of 2020.
