Bellator MMA 183 drew 598,000 viewers on Spike TV Saturday night according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.
The event featured Benson Henderson as he took on Patricky “Pitbull” Freire. Pitbull defeated Bendo via split decision dropping Henderson to 1-3 in Bellator. Henderson’s only win was against Freire in August 2016 when Pitbull suffered a leg injury.
Payout Perspective:
Bellator did slightly better in the ratings this weekend that the UFC show from Japan on Friday night. The 598,000 viewers is below the average of 2017 shows but is better than the two previous shows. It also competed with college football and HBO Boxing on Saturday night.
