Francis Ngannou Knocks Out Philipe Lins in Round 1 at MVP’s Intuit Dome Event

The decisive win on an MVP card streamed on Netflix spotlights new money outside the UFC.

Overview

  • Ngannou, fighting Saturday at Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome for Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, stopped Lins by first‑round knockout in his promotional debut.
  • Most Valuable Promotions split distribution with free prelims on its YouTube channel and an exclusive main card on Netflix.
  • Coverage of event payouts reports a $40,000 base for fighters and says Ngannou earned at least $100,000 for the night, presented as reported figures rather than audited totals.
  • The card leaned on marquee names, with Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano advertised as the main event and Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry also featured.
  • Ngannou’s appearance follows his UFC exit over contract terms and a title run in the PFL, underscoring how alternative promoters court stars with flexible deals and broader streaming reach.
