“As a boxing promoter it feels good waking up today being the biggest MMA promoter,” MVP co-founder Jake Paul wrote on social media.
Netflix has approximately 325 million paid subscribers (globally) compared to 79.6 million for Paramount+, which added UFC to its streaming portfolio (at above market cost) at the beginning of 2026.
“Tremendous success for UFC 250, which is great for the continued growth of the sport, the fighters and the fans,” said MVP co-founder and former UFC executive, Nakisa Bidarian. “MVP MMA had Netflix. UFC 250 had the White House and one of the most recognized global figures in history in President Trump. Only winners here in all scenarios. And UFC 250 was an amazing production, whether you agreed with the location or not. UFC is by far the most dominant brand — the reference brand for the sport of MMA. For MVP MMA to be in the same ballpark of viewership for their biggest event ever is damn good. Don’t care who was higher. Congrats to all.”
