November 21, 2012 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

MMA Junkie reports the ratings for Bellator 81 at a tick higher than last week at 149,000 viewers.  The average for season 7 is now at approximately 166,000 viewers.

Bellator 81 featured the semifinals of the lightweight tournament.

Bellator 74: 190,000 viewers

Bellator 75: 145,000

Bellator 76: 175,000

Bellator 77: 149,000

Bellator 78: 154,000

Bellator 79:  220,000

Bellator 80:  148,000

Bellator 81:  149,000

Payout Perspective:

The rating for Bellator 81 this past Friday remained flat as compared to the drops of UFC Primetime and episode 10 of TUF which saw significant drops.  With the rise and fall of the Bellator tv ratings it’s hard to determine whether it will level at a certain point.
