Paul Daley’s flying knee KO of Brennan Ward in the co-main event was seen by approximately 1.7 million viewers, while Tito Ortiz‘s submission win over Chael Sonnen peaked at 1.85 million to close out the show. Those numbers are expected to climb once the DVR +3 totals are released on Thursday.
Thats good. It wasnt a bad card so hopefully those viewers come back for the real shit. Sucks Tito retired. He actually looked in great shape and took the fight seriously. CHeal looked horrible and should probably be the one looking to retire.
NakedYoga420 - Thats good.

To the untrained eye that was a quick finish that happened fast enough to maintain the fleeting attention spans of the target demo.
0hi0direct - What's the highest UFC on Fox numbers?
1.8 seems good as fuck for bellator.
It's good for Bellator because they were avg like 600k or some shit for awhile. However when you think a cops rerun can get a million viewers, 1.8 isn't that good. Hope they figure it out and can be a place where fighters can get paid but in this sport it's hard to be a big promoter and make money if you aren't the UFC
UFC on FOX 22: Waterson vs VanZant did 4.8 Million viewers which is not the highest.
That's network TV s better compared would be fs1. Those numbers would be higher if bellator was actually live on the the west coast. Plus I had to stream it because my cable dropped spike.

Right, I feel ya. I was thinking PPV numbers.
On the other note I think Bellator is getting there. I was never too sure about them but in the last year Coker has been really aggressive with building the roster. Having signees like Rory not only help put on good fights, but force the competitors to improve, adapt and evolve. I think in another year or two they will have some really strongly developed weight divisions.
CRE - The bad guy brings in quite the audience. The Foreman doing the work of four men. Consider the expectations exceeded and for that we're all welcome.
Looking forward to the Wanderlei Main Event, as well as Phil Davis getting his comeuppance.
Not to forget with WME, unions, and all the turmoil going on right now there will be many more fish in the pond for Coker. Add the fact that they can also have sponsors? What if someone like Conor could have a banner,shorts, and shirts full of sponsors?? I guess 5-10mil at this point.
