Bellator138 draws 2.1 million peak viewers

An average of 1.6 million tuned in to the main-card broadcast, according to the release.

Previously, the viewership record for the Viacom-owned promotion was 1.8 million live viewers, set by this past November’s Bellator 131 headliner between Tito Ortiz and Stephan Bonnar. An average of 1.2 million tuned in overall.

Additional numbers for Bellator 138, including the peak minute viewership and DVR numbers, will be available later this week, the network said. Nevertheless, the fight was declared the most watched MMA fight on cable since January, when Irish featherweight Conor McGregor fought Dennis Siver at UFC Fight 59, drawing a peak viewership of 3.162 for the main event on an average of 2.75 million viewers.

Spike TV also touted Shamrock vs. Slice’s demographics and social media reach, declaring victory over its competition, the U.S. Open golf tournament, in the key demo of 18-49.

Kimbo vs shamrock peaked at 2.1 million in its time slot

The catchweight bout, which headlined this past Friday’s event at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, drew 2.1 million viewers in its timeslot of 11:45 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. ET/PT, the network said in a press release, obtained by MMAjunkie.

Fuck you stu you hater ratings got better and BROKE PEAK RECORDS AGAIN!!!!

bjorn eat your heart out.....

1.6 million average....that means the rest of the card drew interest enough alone.....and the freakshow fight.... more then did its job.

This is why I am glad I got into MMA late: I have absolutely no nostalgia or desire to see these old "legends" fight. I have not watched this terrible fight and never will. I want to watch good fights.

The rest of the card was awesome and te main actually turned out to be a good back and forth battle.

BELLATOR JUST KEEPS BREAKING RECORDS!!!

peak records with FAKE fights between two old shitty fighters! congrats

it just goes to show the mentality of AMERICAN CAGE FIGHTING FANS! they dont care for anything other than big names and fake pro wrestling hype....every other event Bellator has been on average with ratings nothing more or less under cokers regime. Bjorn built bellators success not coker riding the coat tales making freak show fights UFC rejects. If you wanna nutride coker then give bjorn his credit.... not everyone is into freak show fights like kimbo vs ken. some prefer the tournaments and GOOD fighters fighting each other with no favoritism

People were watching for Kimbo and Ken not for Cokeator...no one gives a fuck outside of the UFC

The best decision coker has done is a one night LHW tournament! and thats because it's a tournament between their best 205lbers

well Ken got me into MMA and he was awesome during his prime. This isnt a fight you should watch to learn about Ken. He should have retired 10 years ago

Another record breaking show that bjorn could only dream of getting close too.

Even the ppv that ended up free on tv couldnt touch these events numbers.

The main card averaged 1.6 million viewers......that means people did tune in for BELLAFORCE.

Bjorm is crying himself to sleep lmfao

Fuck the haters

Hey stu your right all the non tentpole shows are mms same ratings as bjorns old cards....

Meaning the coker shows that are barely promoted and has little to no production values,are as succesful as those dumb tournaments you keep crying about lol.

And thus far EVERY tentpole event has done better an better shattering bellators old viewership records.

Coker bellator is clearly better,and is more wanted by mma fans then bjorns version.


Numbers don't lie and they shit all over poor bjork.

Fake fights lmfao.....kens face got wrecked....nothing fake about being mollywhopped by kimbo lol.

Most surprising thing of the fight was kimbo knew which hand to fight off in defense of a RNC....


Only thing fake is your love of mma

You should go comfort bjork....hes deeply depressed....

Bjorn is in mexico making money from his shares you dumb ass! coker is doing all the work and bjorn is reping in his rewards

1.6 million I bet half were casuals who dont give a fuck for anyone but kimbo

Those are really good ratings.

Yeah cd i was surprised it broke the tito record.

But more surprising is the entire main card was watched by MILLIONS of people never dropping.....wow

This card was great im glad it was appreciated by millions of people.

The extra million that peaked to 2.1 million were the casuals who only like kimbo.

I hope the hybrid card continues the trend and breaks the viewer records again.

Bjorn is ,making money off cokers work......more money tgen he ever made when he owned bellator. Lmfao!!!!

BELLAFORCE is on the rise......

I thought you said you didn't think it was fake? Look at the last post:
https://global-mma.forumotion.com/t11977p80-bellator-138-slice-vs-shamrock-results-discussion

He goes back and forth between fiction and reality lmfao

He listens to Joe rogan and thinks his opinions are the gospel...

Then when confronted about it he back tracks and claims he was trolling...

Then continues to use the same opinion he just said was trolling like it was truth.

Long story short....he still rides bjorns dick like rampage did and cant give credit where credit is due.

Bellator is doing some great stuff.
