Ronda Rousey & Jake Paul troll UFC Freedom 250 White House viewership

Just days after finishing up the UFC Freedom 250 event at White House, the reported viewership numbers for it were released. However, despite their big attendance list and brand name, the event failed to surpass the viewership figures set by Jake Paul’s MVP event on Netflix.

Last month, Ronda Rousey marked her MMA comeback against Gina Carano on Netflix under the banner of Jake Paul’s MVP (Most Valuable Promotions). Now, both Paul and Rousey have publicly mocked the UFC and Dana White for their viewership figures. The much-publicized UFC White House event held on the South Lawn of President Donald Trump’s home averaged 7 million viewers in the U.S., according to a report by Paramount. The viewership figure was 2.3 million less than the average of 9.3 million U.S. viewers reported by Netflix for Rousey’s MMA comeback.

Shortly after, MVP co-founder Jake Paul targeted UFC Freedom 250 and dropped a subtle message while mocking them. “As a boxing promoter it feels good waking up today being the biggest MMA promoter,” Paul said. Rousey also took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to taunt UFC’s chief business officer Hunter Campbell. “Lmao! Kiss my a** Hunter Campbell.”

On the other hand, Jake Paul’s MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian left behind a respectful message, highlighting the efforts of both companies. “Tremendous success for UFC 250, which is great for the continued growth of the sport, the fighters and the fans. MVP MMA had Netflix. UFC 250 had the Whitehouse and one of the most recognized global figures in history in President Trump. Only winners here in all scenarios. And UFC 250 was an amazing production, whether you agreed with the location or not. UFC is by far the most dominant brand / the reference brand for the sport of MMA. For MVP MMA to be in the same ballpark of viewership for their biggest event ever is damn good. Don’t care who was higher. Congrats to all.”
