To put it in perspective, the most watched MMA event EVER in USA was UFC 75 which pulled a 4.7. Obviously much more impressive but that's the highest ever, and UFC is 100x more known then EXC.
if EXC keeps pulling "mere 2.6" ratings they will stay on CBS forever.

That's not what the execuives think. See for yourself.
And by the way, the UFC 75 show was not the highest rating ever. It was the May 31 Elite XC show. But Rampage would had given UFC more ratings if the show would had been held on Primetime Network television.
