The long-awaited showdown is finally here! MMA legends Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano are set to headline Jake Paul's debut mixed martial arts event, MVP MMA 1, tonight (Saturday, May 16, 2026) at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. This historic card, streaming live on Netflix, promises a night of high-octane action that fans won't want to miss.

In the main event, Rousey and Carano will clash in a five-round Featherweight bout, marking Rousey's return to the cage after nearly a decade away. The co-main event features another thrilling matchup as former UFC star Nate Diaz takes on Mike Perry in a Welterweight scrap, adding even more firepower to an already stacked card.

Here's everything you need to know to catch all the action: The "Prelims" kick off at 6:00 p.m. ET on YouTube, giving fans a sneak peek at the rising stars, while the main card goes live on Netflix at 9:00 p.m. ET.

Rousey has been making headlines all week, but not just for her comeback fight. The former UFC Bantamweight champion has been vocal, taking shots at TKO's UFC—including Khamzat Chimaev, UFC CBO Hunter Campbell, and current Bantamweight champ Kayla Harrison. It seems that a decade away from the sport has given "Rowdy" plenty to say. Since her last fight—a first-round knockout loss to Amanda Nunes, following a similar defeat to Holly Holm—Rousey stepped away from MMA, started a family, and dabbled in acting. Now, she's back in the spotlight, ready to prove she still has what it takes. Don't miss a second of this epic night!
