Bellator MMA ended an era this past Saturday night as the Viacom-owned promotion held its last card on Paramount Network before moving to the CBS Sports Network in October.
Back-to-back cards on Friday and Saturday were headlined by a light heavyweight rematch between Phil Davis and Lyoto Machida followed by a bantamweight title bout where Juan Archuleta was crowned champion after beating previously undefeated prospect Patrick “Patchy” Mix.
According to the Nielsen Ratings System, Bellator 245 on Friday night averaged 300,000 viewers while landing at No. 76 overall for cable programming.
