The full lineup for Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) MMA’s inaugural event has now been unveiled.
The fight promotion led by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian has partnered with Netflix for its debut MMA event, scheduled for May 16 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The card will be headlined by a five-round featherweight clash between women’s MMA veterans Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano, both making their return after more than a decade away from the sport.
The MVP MMA event is being billed as a triple-header, with the main card also featuring the return of former UFC and PFL heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, who is set to face Philipe Lins. In addition, former UFC star Nate Diaz will make his MMA comeback after four years against fellow welterweight veteran Mike Perry.
