Bellator 108 took place on Friday night at the Ovation Hall inside the Revel Casino in Atlantic City. The main card featured Rampage Jackson winning his Bellator debut, Vitaly Minakov winning the heavyweight title, and Patricio Pitbull wins the featherweight tournament.
According to Nielsen sources, Bellator 108’s preliminary viewership landed at 793,000 total viewers and has since increased 7% to 856,000 total viewers thanks to the live+3 DVR numbers.
This increase now pushes Bellator over the 800,000 viewers mark in the live+3 (DVR) for the first time all season on a Friday night show. The seasons previous high for Friday night was Bellator 107 with 782,000 on the live+3 (DVR).

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.
