Overview
- Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions will stream the main event live worldwide from Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome with no extra fee for subscribers.
- The matchup is a professionally sanctioned featherweight contest under the Unified Rules—five five-minute rounds with 4-ounce gloves inside a hexagon cage.
- Rousey, 39, has not competed since her 2016 loss to Amanda Nunes; Carano, 43, last fought in 2009 against Cris Cyborg.
- Rousey said she first pitched the fight to UFC president Dana White, but those talks “didn’t exactly work out,” leading to the Netflix/MVP deal.
- MVP, co-founded by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, is making its MMA debut, with a March 5 kickoff press conference when tickets go on sale via Ticketmaster.
