Viewership for President Donald Trumps birthday UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House was 117 million short of the seismic prediction made by Dana White.
White, UFCs president, had bullishly predicted Super Bowl-type numbers for the fight, streamed live on Paramount+, but figures showed the spectacle averaged 8.2 million viewersway off the 124.9 million average who tuned in for Februarys Super Bowl LX on NBC.
Florida State Sen. Joe Gruters, chair of the Republican National Committee, also falsely claimed that more people tuned in to watch the Trump event than the Super Bowl.
Joe Gruters was only off by 117.4 million, quipped NBC Sports Mike Florio.
