MVP MMA: Rousey vs. Carano was a historic mixed martial arts event held on May 16, 2026, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, marking the first MMA production by Most Valuable Promotions and airing live on Netflix. The card was headlined by a women's featherweight bout between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano, while Nate Diaz faced Mike Perry in the welterweight co-main event, and Francis Ngannou took on Philipe Lins in a heavyweight bout. The event shattered records, peaking at 11.6 million US viewers to become the most-watched MMA event of all time, surpassing the previous record held by UFC on Fox 1. The night was marred by controversy in the Adriano Moraes vs. Phumi Nkuta fight, where Nkuta was ruled to have lost by technical submission at the final second, despite questions about whether he was unconscious before the bell and whether Moraes held the choke illegally. Nkuta's team filed an appeal with the California State Athletic Commission, but it was denied on July 13, 2026, with executive director Andy Foster citing a lack of clear evidence to overturn the decision. The event also featured notable payouts, with Rousey earning $2.2 million and Ngannou $1.5 million, highlighting the financial scale of this new promotion.
