Friday night's Bellator show from Chicago’s All-State Arena, built around King Mo Lawal's decision win over Rampage Jackson drew 909,000 viewers and peaked at more than 1.3 million viewers, did the promotion's second-best numbers of the year.
Most notable is that it was a 51 percent increase from Jackson's last Bellator fight on June 24, 2016, which did 601,000 viewers and peaked at 914,000, when he defeated former Olympic judo gold medalist Satoshi Ishii.
This was expected to be Jackson's last match with the promotion. This match was agreed upon to fulfill his previous Bellator contract and he's scheduled to return to the UFC.
