Ronda Rousey, Jake Paul react to UFC White House viewership numbers

Ronda
Rousey and Jake Paul are
mocking the viewership numbers for
UFC White House card.
The UFC hosted a one-of-a-kind event at the White House earlier this month. Billed as UFC Freedom 250, the card featured two of the promotion’s biggest stars in Ilia Topuria and Alex Pereira, alongside other big names like Justin Gaethje, Sean O’Malley and Ciryl Gane. The event had 7 million average viewership in the United States.
Despite the magnitude of the card, it failed to beat the viewership numbers for Most Valuable Promotions "Rousey vs. Carano" last month, which reportedly did 9.3 million in the U.S. MVP co-founder, Jake Paul, has now declared himself the biggest MMA promoter.
“As a boxing promoter it feels good waking up today being the biggest MMA promoter,” Paul wrote on X.
The MVP MMA card featured former UFC champions Ronda Rousey (13-2) and Francis Ngannou (19-3). Rousey defeated Gina Carano in just 17 seconds, via an armbar submission. Rousey was vocally critical of the UFC in the lead-up to her return on the MVP MMA card. “Rowdy” yet again slammed UFC executive Hunter Campbell, who has been her primary target.
“Lmao! Kiss my ass Hunter Campbell,” Rousey wrote.
