Get ready for a historic night in women's MMA as two pioneers of the sport finally meet in the octagon. Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano are set to headline a marquee event on Netflix this Saturday, and fans are buzzing about what promises to be an unforgettable showdown.
Both fighters helped shape the early days of women's mixed martial arts before pursuing other ventures. Carano became a household name through her acting career, most notably as a cast member on The Mandalorian, while Rousey transitioned to WWE stardom with occasional acting roles. Now, they're returning to their roots for this highly anticipated clash.
The event is promoted by Most Valuable Promotions, the company founded by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian. They previously partnered with Netflix for the massive Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight in 2024 and the Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor bout, proving they know how to deliver must-see combat sports events.
Here's the best part: the entire main card is available to all Netflix subscribers at no extra cost. No pay-per-view fees, no hidden charges—just your regular subscription. Whether you're on the ad-supported plan at $8.99/month, the standard ad-free option at $19.99/month, or the premium tier at $26.99/month with enhanced video and spatial audio, you'll have full access to the action.
The preliminary fights kick off at 6 p.m. ET, with the main card starting around 9 p.m. ET. The Rousey vs. Carano bout is expected to take place around 11 p.m. ET, depending on how the earlier fights play out. For international viewers, that translates to 2 a.m. BST on Sunday or 12 p.m. AEDT on Sunday for Australian fans.
Mark your calendars and get your gear ready—this is one fight you won't want to miss. Whether you're a longtime MMA fan or new to the sport, Rousey vs. Carano represents a full-circle moment for women's combat sports, and it's streaming live on Netflix.
