Bellator 105 took place two weeks ago at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico and the main card featured Will Brooks and Tiger Sarnavskiy advancing to the lightweight tournament final.
According to Nielsen sources, Bellator 105’s preliminary viewership landed at 520,000 total viewers and has since increased 10% to 576,000 total viewers thanks to the live+3 DVR numbers.
This is the third week in a row since moving back to Friday’s that Bellator failed to eclipse the 700k total viewership number for the live+3 DVR number.
For more information on what this means and on Nielsen ratings in general, check out my article from earlier in the week here.
As a reminder, this adjustments was due to the live + 3 (DVR) numbers which will be released every Tuesday. For those new to Nielsen ratings terminology, live + 3 is a equal to a total of live viewership plus 3 days worth of DVR usage.
