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

This week, Paramount released the ratings for UFC Freedom 250 and it averaged 8.2 million viewers across the United States and Latin America, with 17 million unique viewers tuning in for at least one 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 gloated over outrating UFC Freedom 250.
