Bellator 170: 1.374M viewers on Spike TV

Bellator 170 drew 1.374 million viewers on Saturday night on Spike TV per Sports TV Ratings. It peaked at 1.85 million viewers during the Chael Sonnen-Tito Ortiz fight per Spike TV.
Sports TV Ratings notes that it drew 703,000 in the A18-49 demo.
Spike TV notes that the co-main event between Paul Daley and Brennan Ward drew 1.7 million viewers. The 3-hour broadcast ranked first in cable with men 18-49 in the timeslot.
Payout Perspective:
The event drew less than Bellator 149’s average of 1,964,000 viewers but 170 was the highest-rated event on Spike since last February’s event. The event shows the drawing power of the elder MMA fighters. Certainly, the promos for the fight between Sonnen and Ortiz helped promote the event and drew 1.85 million for their fight. The peak viewership for the main event was slightly more than the 1.8 million that tuned in for Tito versus Stephan Bonnar in November 2014.

Nice ratings. Third best ratings ever for Bellator.

Bellator really are doing well ratings wise with these Fake fights

good job coker keep them coming

Stu, that Tito fight was not fake.  He had that choke locked and Chael turned 50 shades of purple.  Tito has some power and Chael couldn't escape. Tito even held on for a little extra time based on family comments Chael made.

I see. Just checking since a lot of people seem to think it was fixed.

We can delete my response and this post so you can mess with fka if you want...LOL

lmao nah its cool

Its obvious you were trolling because its so obvious it wasn't fake.

It wasn't even a RNC it was a neck crank but ppl are so used to bjj if its not a bjj move it must be fake right lol.

Nice numbers. I liked the Tito/Chael fight; it didn't last long but both guys had moments. I knew Chael had a good Guillotine because he got Shogun with it so I thought Tito might be in danger when Chael first grabbed it.

Style match ups and weight matter. Tito beat Chael pretty easily where as Anderson Silva had trouble with him (especially the first time). The average fan would probably say Anderson was way better than Tito but that isn't always true, each just matches up better against certain guys. Honestly, I could see Tito beating Anderson (at any time in their career) by taking him down and pounding on him. Tito isn't going to get subbed in guard like Chael and Tito is the superior grappler.

There was some post I can't find on Sherdog Worldwide about accusations of false being forwarded from Bellstor to Viacom. Anybody have new details on this?

I saw that. Those were the only details I know of, were from that thread.

My prediction: Nothing comes of it.
