Get ready for an electrifying night of MMA action as Netflix presents a blockbuster fight card this Saturday, May 16, featuring the long-awaited return of former UFC champion Ronda Rousey as she takes on former EliteXC contender Gina Carano. The main event, scheduled for five rounds, kicks off at 9 p.m. ET from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, and it's already generating serious buzz among fight fans.
According to the latest odds from DraftKings, Rousey enters as a heavy favorite at -575, meaning you'd need to risk $575 to win $100. Carano, meanwhile, is the underdog at +425, offering a potential $425 return on a $100 bet. But the excitement doesn't stop there—this stacked card also features a compelling matchup between Mike Perry (-205) and Nate Diaz (+170), as well as Francis Ngannou (-1350) facing off against Philipe Lins (+800).
For those looking to get in on the action, SportsLine expert Josh Nagel has been studying this card from every angle and is ready to share his top betting picks and predictions. Nagel, a seasoned combat sports editor with over 20 years of experience, has a proven track record. In 2025 alone, he delivered massive wins, including calling Terence Crawford (+140) to defeat Canelo Alvarez and specifically predicting Crawford would win by decision (+220). His MMA selections have also been on point, with calls like Sean Strickland (+220) over Anthony Hernandez and Charles Oliveira (+150) over Max Holloway. Followers of Nagel's picks this year are already up more than $2,500.
Rousey, now 39, steps back into the cage for the first time in a decade. With a career record of 12-2—including three knockout wins and nine submissions—she was a dominant force in her prime. After joining the UFC in February 2013, she won her first six matches before suffering a stunning second-round knockout loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193. Her last fight ended in a TKO defeat to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207, making this comeback all the more intriguing.
Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the sport, this Netflix MMA card promises high-stakes drama and plenty of betting opportunities. Head to SportsLine to see Nagel's full predictions and best bets for Saturday's fights.
