At least not many people saw the Strikeforce brawl at the end.  Early numbers suggest that last night's CBS broadcast of Strikeforce was crushed in the ratings. Media Week's Marc Berman has the overnight figures:  ...no punch at a mere 2.63 million viewers and a 1.0/ 3 among adults 18-49 from 9-11 p.m. Take a look at the half-hour breakdown:  CBS Strike Force Saturday Night Fights 9:00 p.m. – Viewers: 2.57 million (#4), A18-49: 0.8/ 3 (#4) 9:30 p.m. – Viewers: 2.55 million (#4), A18-49: 1.0/ 3 (#4) 10:00 p.m. – Viewers: 2.89 million (#3), A18-49: 1.2/ 4 (#2) 10:30 p.m. – Viewers: 2.52 million (#3), A18-49: 1.0/ 3 (#2)  Among males 18-to-49 -- mixed martial arts' core demographic and the only reason networks have any interest in the sport at all -- CBS Saturday Night Fights at various times trailed Cops, The Biggest Loser, Shark Tale and a re-run of Law & Order SVU.  The early figures represent a 31% drop from Strikeforce's November show on CBS, which attracted 3.79 million viewers in the 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. slot.  That doesn't include the November main event of Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers, which ran past the allotted time. It happened again last night for the headliner of Jake Shields vs. Dan Henderson. The post-fight fracas involving Jason "Mayhem" Miller and Shields' teammates didn't happen until after 11:30 p.m. ET.  Final estimates for the entire November show showed an average of 4.04 million viewers, with a peak of 5.46 million for Emelianenko-Rogers. Estimates for last night's entire show should be available in a couple of days.  To report corrections and clarifications, contact Standards Editor  .
