MMA Payout has learned from a Nielsen source that Bellator drew 742,000 viewers. It also received the highest rating of the season in the coveted males 18-34 demo.
The highest quarter hour was the during the 10:45-11:00pm slot which drew 937,000 viewers.
Payout Perspective:
The main event which saw Melvin Manhoef KO Doug Marshall in the first round ended the night early for Bellator programming so apparently a lot of viewers got in just to see the last fight. The ratings are a good sign for Bellator as it continues to trend up even with its lesser known talent.

Sal is just mad his lover, dirty Bob Arum has him working overdrive lately. That combined with the fact that mma is generating far more interest than boxing or board breaking rituals he loves.
