Summary
Joe Rogan falsely claimed that 150 million people watched the UFC White House event, a wildly inaccurate number. The article debunks this claim, noting that the actual viewership for UFC Freedom 250 was around 7 million in the U.S. on Paramount+, which is comparable to a college football bowl game like the Pinstripe Bowl (7.6 million viewers), not the Super Bowl. The piece highlights the absurdity of Rogan's claim and provides corrected viewership data.
