SportsLine's Josh Nagel reveals his picks for the Netflix MVP MMA card, which also features Francis Ngannou vs. Philipe Lins and Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry on Saturday

The wait is finally over. This Saturday, Netflix is bringing the heat with a stacked MVP MMA fight card, and the main event is a clash of titans that fans have been dreaming about for years. Former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey steps back into the cage for the first time in a decade to face former EliteXC star Gina Carano. The action goes down at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, with the main card kicking off at 9 p.m. ET.

This isn't just about Rousey vs. Carano, though. The entire card is loaded with familiar faces and high-stakes matchups. You've got the always-entertaining Nate Diaz taking on Mike Perry, and heavyweight powerhouse Francis Ngannou squaring off against Philipe Lins. It's a night that promises fireworks from start to finish.

Let's talk odds. According to DraftKings, Rousey enters as the heavy favorite at -625, while Carano is the underdog at +455. In other key bouts, Mike Perry is favored at -205 over Diaz (+170), and Ngannou is a massive -1350 favorite against Lins (+800). But before you lock in any picks, it pays to listen to the experts.

That's where SportsLine's Josh Nagel comes in. Nagel is no stranger to combat sports success. He's been covering boxing and MMA for over two decades, and his track record speaks for itself. Last year, he nailed Terence Crawford's upset win over Canelo Alvarez at +140 and correctly predicted Crawford would win by decision at +220. More recently, his MMA picks have been on fire, including calling Sean Strickland (+220) over Anthony Hernandez and Charles Oliveira (+150) over Max Holloway. Followers of Nagel's picks have already seen a return of over $2,500 this year alone.

For this card, Nagel has broken down every angle of the Rousey vs. Carano matchup. Rousey, now 39, hasn't fought since her TKO loss to Amanda Nunes in 2016. Before that, she was a dominant force, posting a 12-2 record with nine submission wins. But ring rust is real, and Carano, though also returning from a long layoff, is a dangerous striker who has nothing to lose.

Whether you're a die-hard MMA fan or just tuning in for the nostalgia, this is a fight card you won't want to miss. And if you're looking to make some smart bets, Nagel's expert analysis is your best bet for coming out on top.
