Our Reading
The rivalry gets a new scorecard.
Jake Paul and Ronda Rousey are keeping score, and the UFC is losing. They’re not shy about gloating, either. Rousey had called out the UFC’s White House card, saying it would “fall extremely short.” And fall it did, with UFC Freedom 250 drawing fewer viewers than Rousey’s Netflix event.
The numbers game is on, and the UFC is playing catch-up.
It’s not just about the fights – it’s about the ratings.
Rivalries are the new championships.
