Rousey Vs. Carano (May 16, 2026) On Netflix | Key Points

Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano come out of retirement for presumably one final bout in a Netflix superfight on MVP MMA.
Former UFC world heavyweight champion Francis Ngannu will take on Philipe Lins, while Nate Diaz wall face Mike Perry.

Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano are the two foremost trailblazers for women’s mixed martial arts. Now, the two disruptors will do battle in a superfight for Jake Paul’s disruptor promotion MVP MMA, which showcases a loaded card of former UFC champions and future MMA superstars.

Rousey has been adamant about wanting to break the domestic viewership record for an MMA fight, which currently stands at 9.5 million for Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos fight on FOX on November 12, 2011. The bout currently has almost 15,000 tickets out, which is a strong number for the debut of a secondary MMA promotion.

Public weigh-ins saw Nate Diaz toking up while Gina Carano was playfully dancing around in between workouts, admitting that this version of Gina has finally let go of pre-fight anxieties that limited her training before. “I just wish I would have been able to do that when I was first fighting," said Carano during a media roundtable on Wednesday. "Just let myself be free and natural with no inner thoughts or anxiety holding me back. I felt great training during the public workout, and I am having fun.”
