One of the biggest MMA events of the year will go down tomorrow night (Sat., May 16, 2026) LIVE on Netflix from inside the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, Calif., as women’s MMA pioneers Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano meet in a long-awaited superfight atop a stacked MVP MMA 1 card.
As mentioned, Rousey and Carano will serve as Saturday’s headliner for Most Valuable Promotions’ official MMA debut. This is a clash of female greats that would have been better suited for Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) Octagon, but the money just wasn’t right. Instead, Jake Paul and company have done their best to disrupt the MMA landscape and host a star-studded fight card on Netflix. This includes additional star power like Francis Ngannou, Nate Diaz, Mike Perry, Junior dos Santos and top French prospect, Salahdine Parnasse.
On Friday, all fighters took to the stage for ceremonial weigh ins and one last faceoff with their opponent. Saturday’s card on Netflix will be a massive opportunity for all involved so check out the final staredowns below and let us know which fighters have the edge heading into the weekend!
