Jake Paul and Ronda Rousey react to the UFC’s ratings at the White House.
When the UFC announced their card from the White House, Rousey confidently declared that her fight against Carano would beat Paramount’s ratings.
“Dana knows the White House card stinks. They pushed it for a year and it fell extremely short. UFC is not the place to go to make money, champions like Valentina sell their t—–s on OnlyFans”
This rivalry has so many layers – @netflix not playing around – bet we can hit @paramountplus’ @ufc number 😈👊🏼🔥https://t.co/0GyZ1M2d2B

This week, Paramount released the ratings for UFC Freedom 250, and it averaged 8.2 million viewers across the US and Latin America, with 17 million unique viewers tuning in for at least a minute.
In the US, the card averaged 7 million viewers, making it the most-watched live event in Paramount+ history.
UFC Freedom 250 drew fewer viewers in the US than Netflix’s Rousey-Carano card, which averaged 9.3 million viewers in the US and 12.4 million globally.
On social media, both Paul and Rousey were happy about the unannounced UFC Freedom 250.
