Bellator London & UFC Fight Night Greenville Viewership Numbers Are In
This past weekend, MMA fans were treated to a pair of big events in the form of Bellator London and UFC Fight Night Greenville.
Everything kicked off with the UFC Fight Night Greenville preliminary card, which aired live on ESPN and that brought in a total of 413,000 viewers according to MMA Fighting. The bouts that took part on the preliminary card saw Dan Ige defeat Kevin Aguilar, Ashley Yoder defeat Syuri Kondo, Luis Pena defeat Matt Wiman, Jair Rozenstruik defeat Allen Crowder, Molly McCann defeat Ariane Lipski and Deron Winn defeat Eric Spicely.
The main card for UFC Fight Night Greenville streamed live on ESPN+, so viewership numbers aren’t available for that portion of the card.
Bellator London would also air this past Saturday Night, but that card was a tape delayed event that aired on the Paramount Network. The show, which was headlined by Paul Daley scoring a decision win over Erick Silva, would bring in 386,000 viewers. Other bouts on the card saw James Gallagher defeat Jeremiah Labiano, Fabian Edwards defeat Jonathan Bosuku, Costello Van Steenis defeat Mike Shipman and Charlie Ward defeat Justin Moore.
Up next for the UFC is UFC Fight Night Minneapolis, which is headlined by Francis Ngannou and Junior Dos Santos, which airs live on ESPN. Bellator MMA is going to be off until July and Bellator 224, where Julia Budd defends the women’s featherweight title against Olga Rubin.
