Multiple fights in a night just isn't the right model, but Bellator's version of having 3-4 weeks in between each fight seems to work pretty well. In their first 3 seasons I can't think of a single competitor that advanced but subsequently had to withdraw due to injury. Maybe a little bit of luck involved, but compare that against the Shine tournament which became an injury-riddled mess.
Hopefully Bellator figures out their TV situation in a way that more people start watching it. It was definitely frustrating for me. As soon as football season started, all the Bellator shows got pre-empted by football analysis shows.
