bellator rampage vs mpumbu average and peak numbers

Averaged 880k viewers and peaked at 1.1 million for main event.

This is proof to all the naysayers rampage is still a huge draw considering most the card wasn't full of finishes or big names.

Bellator is doing great and making the right choices to elevate their brand and its showing.

WAR BELLATOR!

Bellator is North Americas greatest hope for mma IMO

Impressive

shame the didnt get melendez! that would have been fucking HUGE!

Having him fight an inflated welterweight is not good for mma lol. Ton ton was terrified of him and ran until he was ko'd . rampage looked to be 3 times his size. this type of crap is good for drawing in casuals but is not good for mma.

Its not bellators business to order you to fight in a certain weight class mpumbu chooses to fight at lhw just as fedor chose to fight hw.

Its not like they bring in some scrub who is undersized mpumbu is a legit contender and earned a shot in the tourney.

Every division has bigger and smaller guys its the reality of the fight game I dont see how rampage fighting a fellow 205 er is bad if dude made weight its a legit fight.

I wish there were still openweight tourneys they are GREAT for the sport.

Martial arts is supposed to be technique over power skill over size I think your just hating to hate bro.

M'Pumbu is a natural LHW. They didn´t grapple so the size wasn´t a big issue.

Bellator FTW  

^Agreed. He could probably cut to 185 but he is solid at 205 as well and former Bellator LHW champ.
