MMA Junkie reports that Bellator 38 ratings dipped for the second week in a row with an average of 150,000 viewers for its MTV2 broadcast. Despite moving its start time to avoid UFC Fight Night overlap, it still had low ratings.

Bellator’s replay airing at midnight the same night PT/ET drew 97,000 viewers.

Via MMA Junkie:

The first-run season-four ratings include:

Bellator 35 ratings: 200,000 viewers

Bellator 36 ratings: 230,000

Bellator 37 ratings: 173,000

Bellator 38 ratings: 150,000

Payout Perspective:

An inverted triangle choke couldn’t save the ratings this weekend for Bellator as it once against went up against the UFC and NCAA Basketball Saturday night. This weekend it will go up against the Final Four. However, Bellator has a strong card this weekend with Eddie Alvarez defending his title against Pat Curran. Hopefully for Bellator, being the only MMA show on TV will show a rebound in ratings.
