Spike TV's Thursday morning tape-delayed ‘Breakfast with Fedor' special failed to reach the inspired viewership that the organization likely hoped for.

According to MMAFighting.com's Dave Meltzer, the Rizin Fighting Federation Day 2 broadcast averaged 156,000 viewers on Spike TV. Naturally, the event peaked to 271,000 viewers during the co-main event between Fedor Emelianenko and Jaideep Singh.

Spike's tape-delayed version of the Rizin broadcast was a near three-hour English broadcast that aired between 10am ET and 12:45pm ET.

Apart from Fedor's return, the broadcast aired highlights of the Grand Prix tournament, which was eventually won by Muhammed Lawal. Gabi Garcia, Kron Gracie and Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Shinya Aoki were also featured on the card.

It should be noted that many hardcore fans opted to watch the two shows live on Russian TV instead of wait for the heavily edited and tape-delayed version.
