Bellator Ratings: Bellator 44 Posts Highest Ratings Of Season

I can’t possibly speculate as to what caused these numbers. There wasn’t much competition, but that’s historically failed to matter much. Perhaps it’s been the continuity week-over-week at 9 p.m. ET that brought viewers back.

As for what this means for Bellator, I don’t want to read into one event as a tipping point even if it’s a high-water mark. I can say this is the first time MTV has reached out to me to inform me of the ratings. Take that for whatever it’s worth. I’ve heard rumors the organization is on the verge of taking UFC’s slot at Spike as well as suggestions the organization is hemorrhaging money. You figure it out.
