Bellator 286 ratings tops out at 165K on Showtime

October 5, 2022 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Bellator 286 took place on Saturday night in Long Beach, California.  The viewership on Showtime drew its highest rating of 165,000 for the post-fight of McKee-Carlyle and pre-main event of Borics-Freire.

89th 11:46pm 18 minutes  165,000 (0.05) Pre-fight Borics-Freire

108th 11:24pm  22 minutes  146,000 (0.05)  AJ McKee v. Spike Carlyle

116th 12:04am  35 minutes  170,000 (0.04)  Adam Borics v. Patricio Freire

125th 10:00pm  15 minutes 101,000 (0.04) Pre-fight Archuleta-Barzola

146th 11:02pm 22 minutes 126,000 (0.03)  Pre-fight McKee–Carlyle

Payout Perspective:

For a very competitive card with some of Bellator’s best names on it, the ratings are a little disappointing. Even with the UFC having an event earlier in the day, it seemed like some MMA fans did not tune in.
