Rousey and Paul taunt UFC over White House audience

Ronda Rousey and Jake Paul have taunted the UFC and Dana White for failing to break Most Valuable Promotions' MMA record audience figure with the White House event last week.

US broadcaster Paramount said UFC 250 Freedom on Sunday reached seven million people in the US on Paramount+.

Netflix said Rousey's 15-second demolition of Gina Carano in May had a US average audience of 9.3 million and a US "peak audience" of 11.6 million.

Paul, who co-founded MVP with Nakisa Bidarian, wrote on X: "As a boxing promoter it feels good waking up today being the biggest MMA promoter."
