Bellator's second season-four event, Bellator 36, netted 230,000 viewers for MTV2's live broadcast, and the immediate replay actually outdrew the live airing with 241,000 fans tuning in.

The live airing earned a 16 percent increase from this season's debut episode, and the immediate replay earned an astounding 90 percent increase over the previous week's replay broadcast...

Strikeforce was live at the same time as Bellator.

I guess that's why the replay did so well.

This is great news. I really hope that Bellator will continue to grow and introduce new faces with their tournament format. Hopefully they will eventually make the crossover to mtvhd rather than mtv2 which would be even better. Not only would the fights be available in HD but the fights would become more accessible to the typical mtv viewer with the amount of advertising they do.
