NBC Sports analyst Mike Florio comments on a claim made by Republican National Committee (RNC) chair Joe Gruters regarding viewership for President Donald Trump’s “UFC Freedom 250” event. Florio, writing in Pro Football Talk, says Gruters was “only off by 117.4 million” after predicting that the UFC event drew more viewers than the Super Bowl. The outlets report that Florio’s remark frames the difference between the claim and publicly available viewership figures, highlighting a large discrepancy. The reports do not present new verification methods or detailed rating numbers beyond Florio’s quoted comparison, but they describe the core issue: Gruters’s assertion that the UFC event outperformed the Super Bowl in audience size is inconsistent with the figures Florio cites or references. Both sources present Florio’s comment as a response to Gruters’s earlier statement, emphasizing the magnitude of the mismatch.
