Bellator 185 draws 476,000 viewers

October 23, 2017 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Bellator 185 drew 476,000 viewers on Friday night on Spike TV according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.  The event featured the debut of former UFC middleweight Gegard Mousasi as he defeated Alexander Shlemenko.

Payout Perspective:

The ratings are a modest boost from the last Bellator show but you would have expected a little more considering the debut of Mousasi.  But, the MLB game between the Yankees and Astros on FS1 which drew over 8.2 million viewers probably had something to do with it.
