Ronda Rousey Sets Final MMA Bout With Gina Carano on Netflix

Her comeback tests Netflix’s MVP promotion as a potential rival to the UFC.

Overview

  • The matchup headlines MVP MMA 1 on Saturday at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, with the main card on Netflix and prelims on Netflix’s Tudum and MVP’s YouTube channels.
  • Rousey said this will be her last fight, citing a promise to her husband and a plan to try for more children after the event.
  • Following Monday’s media interviews, she accused UFC executive Hunter Campbell of dismissing the bout, trying to derail talks, and pushing to scrap the women’s featherweight division.
  • She said a Cleveland Clinic diagnosis of migraine aura and preventive medication explained her late‑career struggles and made this return possible.
  • The card also features Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry and Francis Ngannou vs. Philipe Lins, and Rousey said a strong show could launch her into a front‑office role with MVP.
