Here are last weekends 3 major event 'peak' TV ratings

Bellator 149 - 2.7 million
‪‎UFC Pittsburgh‬ - 983,000
‪WSOF 28‬ - 161,000

People see that as bellator losing cred but I see it as Coker being smart and growing the brand that benefits mma without conspiring to take it over like zuffa did.

Fuck zuffa

I enjoyed the Bellator show. Yeah, the Kimbo vs Dada fight wasn't great, but I didn't expect it to be anyway. Obviously the casual fans liked watching it, they stayed around even after the Kimbo and Gracie/Shamrock fight. Bellator needs to keep doing what they are doing. Coker is great at building prospects as well. Zuffa is only good at buying other companies and taking their prospects from them.

ENTIRE card saw an average of 2 milly.....

Meaning people tuned in and watched from the first fight.....extra 500,000 tuned in for the freaks and legends....

Not like they did wsof numbers and then the numbers jumped just for the double main....

They watched the whole show lmfao....fucking zuffa idiots ha ha

2.7M...That's impressive. Even more than reported originally. Kimbo and Royce will almost definitely be back in the Bellator cage. They should get them some fights in Japan as well.

I gotta admit, I missed WSOF events pretty often.

It's really sad how Sherdog and others are spinning this. They are threatened.

^Yeah, I agree, they seemed threatened when they act like this. The worst was when RIZIN was announced. I never seen such an attack on Sherdog and all the media.

It's really disgraceful how they can call themselves media and all they do is attack any MMA that can be a threat to the UFC. The stuff this past week is pathetic as they ask if Bellator is regressing or acting like Bellator is responsible for Dada 5000 as if they have a dangerous environment, and really doing a smear campaign.

Yup, it is ridiculous.  Media is controlled. Crazy system.
