Bellator celebrated its 50th event this past weekend but TV viewers weren’t celebrating with them. The show pulled in the lowest number of views in the history of their MTV2 run with 114,000 viewers.
Bellator 50 took place this past Saturday, September 17 at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, but the program faced strong competition from a stacked schedule of college football games. The show started at 7 PM ET to avoid competing head-to-head with UFC Fight Night 25: Shields vs. Ellenberger on Spike TV.
MMAjunkie.com confirmed the ratings with an industry source.
Bryan Baker, Brian Rogers, Alexander Shlemenko, and Vitor Vianna all advanced to the semifinals of the season five middleweight tournament.
