Bellator Fighting Championships rebounded this past week from some of its lowest MTV2 ratings numbers to date.
After a May 25 Bellator 70 event drew just 119,000 MTV2 viewers, Bellator 72 this past Friday had 193,000 viewers on the cable network. Bellator 71, which took place June 22, was not carried on MTV2, but did stream online at outlets including Spike.com and MMAjunkie.com.
MMAjunkie.com on Thursday confirmed the figures with an industry source.
