Overview
- Netflix and Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions staged their first MMA event Saturday at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, marking Netflix’s debut MMA broadcast.
- Ronda Rousey submitted Gina Carano with an armbar in 17 seconds and said she is retiring, giving the headliner a swift finish built on her trademark move.
- Francis Ngannou knocked out Philipe Lins in the first round and called out Jon Jones, who said UFC contract limits could block that matchup.
- Mike Perry beat Nate Diaz by doctor’s stoppage after two rounds due to multiple cuts, with both fighters open to running it back.
- Netflix’s presentation used darker lighting, cinematic walkouts and brisk pacing, and the event’s strong finishes now put the focus on whether viewership justifies more MMA cards.
