Overview
- Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix confirmed Francis Ngannou will face Philipe Lins in a five-round heavyweight co-main event under unified rules at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
- The announcement comes just days after Ngannou parted ways with the PFL; his last MMA bout was a first-round knockout of Renan Ferreira in October 2024.
- Lins, a 2018 PFL heavyweight tournament winner with an 18-5 record, has not competed since a unanimous decision win at UFC 299 in March 2024 following a four-fight UFC win streak.
- The card, headlined by Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, will stream live to Netflix subscribers globally at no additional cost as the platform’s first MMA event.
- Rousey promoted the addition on X and criticized the UFC’s planned White House card, highlighting MVP’s lineup as a fan-first alternative.
