Complete schedule and viewing information you need to watch Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano live in Los Angeles on Saturday
Three former UFC champions take part in Netflix's MMA debut. Ronda Rousey headlines Saturday's card against fellow trailblazer Gina Carano with Francis Ngannou and Junior dos Santos in separate main card bouts. Joining the impressive lineup is Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry. The action takes place at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California and streams live on Netflix.
Most Valuable Promotions, the boxing promotion founded by Jake Paul, expands into mixed martial arts. They've partnered with a streaming giant and amassed the biggest free agents in the sport. There's a mixed reception to the event, but the parties involved give it the potential to break viewership records.
The gold standard is still PRIDE Final Conflict 2005, commonly estimated to have drawn 10-12 million viewers in Japan. The domestic U.S. record belongs to 2008's EliteXC: Primetime, which peaked at 7.28 million viewers for Kimbo Slice vs. James Thompson. With 325 million global subscribers and 66.7 million of which in America, Netflix has the potential to set new records.
Rousey and Carano are two of the most influential women in MMA. As the first UFC women's champion, Rousey helped elevate UFC to heights never before seen. Before Rousey became a household name, Carano was the pioneer putting women's MMA on the map.
This event is not just about the headliners. MVP is putting together an event filled with names familiar to many MMA fans. Look no further than the co-main event when Nate Diaz takes on Mike Perry at welterweight. Plus, former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is back when he takes on Philipe Lins. Another former UFC heavyweight champion is also on the main card when Junior dos Santos returns to MMA to take on Robelis Despaigne.
