MVP MMA 1: How to watch Rousey-Carano, Diaz-Perry, Ngannou-Lins, odds, more

Co-main event: Mike Perry

• Record: 14-8
• Opponent: Nate Diaz (21-13)
• Division: Welterweight
• Key wins: Alex Oliveira, Paul Felder, Alex Reyes, Jake Ellenberger, Danny Roberts
• Misc.: Perry’s 15-fight UFC run came to a close in 2021, and he since has made a major name for himself as BKFC’s “King of Violence.” There, he has wins over ex-UFC champs Luke Rockhold and Eddie Alvarez, and he like Diaz, also had a boxing match against Paul that proved to be lucrative.

Co-main event: Philipe Lins

• Record: 18-5
• Opponent: Francis Ngannou (18-3)
• Division: Heavyweight
• Key wins: Ion Cutelaba, Maxim Grishin, Ovince Saint Preux, Marcin Prachnio
• Misc.: Lins won the PFL heavyweight season and $1 million in 2018. He did some good work at light heavyweight in the UFC after a move there in 2020, but it came after he dropped his first two fights at heavyweight. His win over Cutelaba came more than two years ago, though.

Co-main event: Francis Ngannou

• Record: 18-3
• Opponent: Philipe Lins (18-5)
• Division: Heavyweight
• Key wins: Renan Ferreira, Ciryl Gane, Stipe Miocic, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Junior dos Santos, Cain Velasquez, Curtis Blaydes (twice), Andrei Arlovski
• Misc.: Ngannou will be looking to recapture his claim to be the world’s best heavyweight when he fights for the first time since October 2024. He left the UFC in 2022 as its champion under duress in a contract dispute and war of words with Dana White. He took a pair of big payday boxing matches with Tyson Fury – a close split decision loss – and Anthony Joshua, which didn’t go nearly as well. In his lone PFL fight, he crushed Ferreira – but never did any other business for the promotion and exited to quickly set up the fight under Jake Paul’s banner.
