Ratings for this past weekend’s Bellator 51 event were up 39 percent from the week prior, but the Sept. 24 event still drew just 158,000 viewers, ranking it 14th out of 17 events that have aired on MTV2 to date.
MMAjunkie.com today confirmed the ratings with an industry source.
Bellator 51, which took place at Ohio’s Canton Memorial Civic Center, faced stiff competition from UFC 135, one of the biggest MMA pay-per-view events of the year.
