Bellator 63 ratings: Event draws 140,000 MTV2 viewers, close to season average Empty Bellator 63 ratings: Event draws 140,000 MTV2 viewers, close to season average

Ratings for the latest Bellator event were largely in tune with the seasons-six average.

This past weekend's Bellator 63 event averaged 140,000 viewers on MTV2, which is down slightly from the season's average of 151,000 viewers for the year's first three shows.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the figures with industry sources.

Bellator 63 took place this past Friday, March 30, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. In addition to the MTV2-televised main card, prelims streamed live on Spike.com.

Bellator 63 featured the opening round of an eight-man welterweight tournament. Winners included Karl Amoussou, Bryan Baker, David Rickels and Ben Saunders. The semifinals now take place at Bellator 67 with Amoussou vs. Rickels and Baker vs. Saunders.

Bellator's Friday-night competition, "The Ultimate Fighter: Live" on FX, also saw a slight ratings decrease. "TUF: Live" drew 1.1 million viewers for the season's fourth episode, which was down from the 1.2 million who tuned in a week prior.

To date, MTV2 has aired 29 Bellator events. A week ago, Bellator 62 saw a 61 percent ratings increase from the week prior when it drew a season-best 175,000 viewers.

The all-time Bellator-MTV2 ratings include:

Bellator 63 ratings: 140,000 viewers
Bellator 62 ratings: 175,000
Bellator 61 ratings: 108,000
Bellator 60 ratings: 169,000
Bellator 49-59 ratings (season five average): 186,000
Bellator 46-48 ratings (Summer Series average): 229,000
Bellator 35-45 ratings (season four average): 204,000

Really poor numbers. I wish they could leave MTV2 right now because they will never get good ratings there.

Not the greatest ratings although they do not include ratings from EPIX and Spike.com. I wish they would move to Spike sooner as well.
