After netting a record-shattering 6.1 million viewers for its third episode, the fifth installment of “The Ultimate Fighter 10” drew an average 2.8 million viewers and a 2.2 household rating Wednesday for the second week in a row, according to figures released by Spike TV.

The series, boosted by the participation of Internet streetfighting sensation Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson, also topped the key male 18-34 demographic for the fifth straight week (tied with South Park this week) with 963,000 viewers, said the network. The fourth episode drew 1.1 million viewers in that demo last week.
