On Friday, the promotion announced UFC White House has reached an estimated 34 million people for the event on June 14, and that number could become even bigger. Spain and France are among several countries who have yet to report viewership and those numbers are expected to arrive in mid-July. With Spain’s Ilia Topuria having fought in the main event, and France’s Ciryl Gane featured in the co-main event, the estimated number could continue to rise by a substantial amount. UFC White House has already recorded 17 million viewers for the United States and Latin America. The new global number comes from the addition of several countries, including Australia, China, India, South Korea, New Zealand, and the U.K. In the main event, Justin Gaethje became the undisputed lightweight champion when he knocked out the previously undefeated Ilia Topuria.
