Overview
- Rousey said every fighter on the May 16 MVP card at the Intuit Dome will earn at least $40,000, positioning the Netflix event against the UFC’s $10,000-to-show, $10,000-to-win entry pay.
- At the press event, she tore into UFC bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison with personal jabs, prompting Harrison to fire back online with a blunt challenge to fight her.
- Rousey claimed the UFC blocked her first attempt to book the fight, saying Hunter Campbell tried to steer her elsewhere and that Dana White is no longer running day-to-day decisions.
- The Netflix card also includes Francis Ngannou vs. Philipe Lins and Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry under Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions banner.
- Because the bout is in California, the state commission will publish official purses after the event, offering a public check on MVP’s promised minimum and fresh data for the fighter-pay debate.
