Abyss Gets 17 Stitches, Khali's Movie, DiBiase, Kong, More

-- Wednesday night's episode of The Ultimate Fighter 11 on Spike TV drew a 1.0 cable rating, with 1.3 million viewers. That represents the lowest rating of the season so far. The show suffered as a result of the LA Lakers-Phoenix Suns NBA playoff game, which drew over 7 million viewers. In the 18-34 and 18-49 make groups, the show was the second-ranked broadcast in the timeslot, behind the NBA game. Ratings increased throughout the show, to drop slightly for the last 15 minutes. It started with a 0.91 in the first quarter hour, peaked at 1.05 in the third and dropped to 1.02 for the fourth.
