Overview
- Netflix and MVP confirmed Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano for May 16 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood as the headliner of the streamer’s first professional MMA broadcast.
- The fight is set at featherweight (145 pounds) and will be professionally sanctioned for five five-minute rounds with 4-ounce gloves inside a hexagon cage.
- Netflix will stream the event live worldwide for subscribers at no additional cost.
- The bout marks major comebacks, with Rousey returning to MMA for the first time since 2016 and Carano competing for the first time since 2009.
- MVP, co-founded by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, says this show launches its move into MMA, and a March 5 press conference at the Intuit Dome will kick off ticket sales after Rousey said she initially pitched the matchup to UFC’s Dana White without success.
