Summary

– Ronda Rousey mocked UFC executive Hunter Campbell after her MVP MMA1 return outdrew UFC Freedom 250

– UFC Freedom 250 reportedly averaged 8.2 million viewers across the United States and Latin America

– MVP MMA1 reportedly averaged 9.3 million viewers in the United States and 12.4 million globally

Ronda Rousey did not stay quiet after the latest ratings numbers came out.

Rousey reacted on X after reports showed her return fight at MMA1 MVP drew stronger viewership than UFC Freedom 250. The White House UFC event had received major attention going into the broadcast, but Rousey’s return fight ended up with a bigger audience.

UFC Freedom 250 reportedly averaged 8.2 million viewers across the United States and Latin America. MVP MMA1, which featured Rousey’s return fight against Gina Carano, reportedly averaged 9.3 million viewers in the United States and 12.4 million viewers globally.

Once the comparison started circulating, Rousey responded by taking direct aim at UFC Chief Business Officer Hunter Campbell.

“Lmao! Kiss my ass Hunter Campbell 😜”

The post came after a Complex article noted that UFC Freedom 250’s White House spectacle did not top the numbers for Rousey vs. Carano.

Rousey had already criticized the UFC event before it aired, saying she was not impressed with the card. After the ratings were released, she clearly saw the moment as a win.

The response added more heat to Rousey’s return story. She did not just come back to MMA with attention on her fight; she also outperformed one of the UFC’s most heavily promoted events.

Freedom 250 featured the White House setting, UFC branding, and plenty of hype. Rousey still ended up with the stronger reported numbers, and she made sure Campbell knew it.
