Bellator 208 on Paramount Saturday night drew 521,000 viewers according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily. The event featured Fedor defeating Chael Sonnen in the last semi-final of the Heavyweight Grand Prix.
It was the second of back-to-back nights for the promotion. The event also aired on DAZN.
In addition to Fedor and Sonnen, Benson Henderson defeated Saad Awad.
Payout Perspective:
Although 521,000 viewers does not seem that impressive, it is the best viewership since Bellator 199 this past May. One might infer that there were more viewers since DAZN was an optional way to view the event. The viewership suggests that Fedor is still a draw for many MMA fans.
