Ronda Rousey criticizes UFC after Freedom 250 ratings reveal

Ronda Rousey reacted sharply to UFC Freedom 250 ratings after they were released. The event peaked with 17 million viewers, making it Paramount+’s biggest live event, but averaged 8.2 million viewers, trailing the recent Rousey vs. Carano card’s average of 9.3 million. Rousey, previously a UFC champion, took to X to mock UFC matchmaker Hunter Campbell. She remains critical of the UFC despite maintaining a friendly relationship with Dana White. The hype surrounding her recent fight likely inflated those ratings, as it marked Carano's return after 17 years away from the sport.
