Bellator 162 last Friday night drew 659,000 viewers in adjusted DVR +3 ratings. Its an increase from the 562,000 viewers in Live + SD.
The event peaked at 956,000 viewers during the main event between Shlemenko and Grove.
The ratings made it the third-highest cable sporting event last Friday night behind two college football games on ESPN.
A peak at close to 1m? excellent. Well done Bellator.
I bet De La Hoya wishes he had a piece of Bellator these days:

PBC is destroying boxing just like I said it would.
PBC resulted in less, regularly scheduled boxing on television and poor matchups.
And it spent a lot of money to make those poor decisions.
