HIGHLIGHTS

• MVP Promotions has assembled one of the most stacked MMA cards of 2026 for its first-ever MMA event on Netflix, and it rivals the UFC's biggest shows this year.
• Three featured bouts bring together a former UFC bantamweight champion, a former UFC heavyweight champion and one of the most recognizable names in combat sports history.
• The undercard adds former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos, undefeated flyweight Muhammad Mokaev and former Bellator welterweight champion Jason Jackson.

Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano was a major draw on its own, but MVP Promotions has put together a card for its first-ever MMA show on Netflix that rivals anything the UFC has done this year. One could argue it is as good--if not better than the UFC White House card.

In addition to Rousey and Carano's return to MMA, the show will also feature Francis Ngannou taking on Phillipe Lins and Nate Diaz facing Mike Perry to round out the featured presentations. Quite honestly, that would have been more than enough for the promotion's first show. The undercard is also very strong. Here is a breakdown of the full card and all of the viewing information.

Rousey Vs. Carano Full Card

Main Card (Netflix, 8 PM ET)

• Ronda Rousey (12-2) vs. Gina Carano (7-1) -- 5 rounds, featherweight (145 lbs)
• Francis Ngannou (18-3, 13 KOs) vs. Phillipe Lins (18-5, 9 KOs) -- 5 rounds, heavyweight
• Nate Diaz (22-13) vs. Mike Perry (14-8, 11 KOs) -- 5 rounds, welterweight (170 lbs)

Prelim Card (Netflix, 5 PM ET)

• Junior dos Santos (21-10) vs. Robelis Despaigne (5-2) -- heavyweight
• Muhammad Mokaev (15-0) vs. Adriano Moraes (21-6) -- flyweight
• Salahdine Parnasse (22-1) vs. Kenneth Cross (17-5) -- lightweight
• Lorenz Larkin (25-8) vs. Jason Jackson (19-6) -- welterweight
• Aline Pereira vs. Jade Masson-Wong -- catchweight (130 lbs)
• David Mgoyan vs. Albert Morales -- featherweight
• Namo Fazil vs. Jake Babian -- welterweight
• Chris Avila vs. TBD

When and How to Watch

The event takes place Saturday, May 16, 2026, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The prelim card starts at 5 PM ET with the main card beginning at 8 PM ET.

The entire card streams live globally on Netflix at no extra cost for subscribers. All bouts are sanctioned under the Unified Rules of MMA with 4-ounce gloves inside a hexagonal cage. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.

Key Names on the Undercard

The depth here is what separates this card. Junior dos Santos, a former UFC heavyweight champion, returns to MMA for the first time since 2022 against Karate Combat champion Robelis Despaigne.

Muhammad Mokaev (15-0) is one of the best flyweights in the world and faces three-time ONE Championship titleholder Adriano Moraes. Mokaev was dumped by the UFC and has been campaigning to rejoin the promotion. Landing a fight on the MVP card is huge for him.

Former Bellator welterweight champion Jason Jackson takes on veteran Lorenz Larkin. Aline Pereira, sister of UFC two-division champion Alex Pereira, also competes on the card.

Ayaneo has suspended sales of its next-gen premium gaming handheld as the procurement costs for storage have slipped out of control. When it was first announced, prices were already high, but following the CNY break, vendor quotes had shot up many times, making it unfeasible to build the device. It's a temporary suspension, however, and existing sales will be honored.

Nintendo is reportedly reducing the production of the Switch 2 by 33%, cutting output by 2 million units, due to lackluster sales during the holiday season of 2025.

Epic Games also increased the price of V-Bucks, the Fortnite in-game currency.

SteamOS 3.8.0 preview introduces early Steam Machine support while delivering performance upgrades, improved VRR, and broader handheld compatibility

PlayStation 5 architect Mark Cerny said in an interview that Sony will add frame-generation technology to the console in the future, but didn't specify which console will get it or when.

Nintendo is reportedly set to launch a revised Switch 2 with a removable battery in Europe, in line with regulations requiring easier battery replacement by February 2027.

Crimson Desert doesn't support Intel GPUs, and the game's developers is telling customers to simply ask for a refund.

Apparently, Epic Games hasn't been making enough money on Fortnite, and needs to raise the price of its premium in-game currency, V-Bucks, to "help pay the bills." "The cost of running Fortnite has gone up a lot and we’re raising prices to help pay the bills." That's what Epic tells players right at the top of a new blog post, which announces that the base price of the premium currency will be going up. The change goes into effect on March 19, 2026, after which every dollar you spend on V-Bucks will earn you less than it did before. After […]

There's been a major development in the ongoing Ashes of Creation legal battle: Intrepid Studios founder and CEO Steven Sharif has obtained his first legal victory against the board, obtaining a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) from a judge. As a reminder, following the sudden implosion of the game and its removal from Steam, not to mention the fraud accusations levied by one of the game's investors, Sharif was targeted with a lawsuit filed by TFE Games Holdings on February 9, 2026, in the Nevada District Court, Clark County. However, he quickly filed his own lawsuit against Robert Dawson (the major investor behind […]

A few hours ago, IGN kicked off its Forza Horizon 6 IGN First coverage with a 9-minute gameplay video of "scenic driving" across the game's stunning rendition of Japan. The footage covers a cruise from the south of the map through various biomes, into the outskirts of Tokyo, around its fringe, and back north, ending at one of the game's permanent race circuits. These multiple distinct biomes blend into each other nicely, based on the video. IGN clarified that the traffic in the gameplay video was deliberately toned down by Playground Games to help viewers absorb the surroundings and biomes […]

Like many of the wrestlers the franchise lets you play as, the WWE 2K games have been on top of the world, down and out, and everything in between. Last year's WWE 2K25 was not a career high point as the game focused heavily on The Island, a new online hub in the vein of NBA 2K's The City, to the exclusion of almost everything else. Thankfully, as I described in my hands-on impressions, WWE 2K26 seems to be spreading the love a bit more with new features. Does WWE 2K26 light a fire under the franchise? Or is it […]

Today, Bloomberg reports an indirect threat for the Nintendo Switch 2 console coming from the ongoing memory storage crisis. As you probably are already aware of if you're a regular Wccftech reader, the global rush to build artificial intelligence hardware has brought major increases in the price of NAND flash memory: NAND contract prices are forecast to surge by up to 90% in this quarter compared with the previous three-month period, when prices had already spiked by over 30%. This is an issue for the Nintendo Switch 2 because of its limited storage. The hybrid console only has 256GB of […]

Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney has come out on top once again in his dispute with how platform holders dictate the relationship that developers have with their users. After starting disputes with both Apple and Google years ago, which initially took popular Epic Games titles like Fortnite off Android and iOS mobile platforms, Epic and Sweeney's dispute with Google has finally come to a close. To be clear, Fortnite has already made its return to iOS and Android when Epic was finally able to launch a mobile version of the Epic Games Store worldwide back in 2024 (though Australians had […]

The Financial Times has published a paywalled report revealing that the US government is presently evaluating whether to compel the giant Chinese gaming publisher Tencent to divest from US gaming companies for national security purposes. Top officials have held internal meetings to assess ​whether Tencent's many investments can be allowed to continue, since they give them access to data on millions of American gamers. A cabinet-level meeting to discuss the matter was scheduled for today, but was postponed due to scheduling conflicts. US President Donald Trump is preparing to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in China in April, so presumably, […]

The Wolf Among Us 2 has been missing for so long that it's started to reach mythical levels of 'games in development hell.' It's been nearly a decade since it was first revealed, and in that time, a lot has happened. Now, a new rumour points to the game's development having been restarted for (at least) a second time, and that it's being co-developed with an unnamed studio in Argentina. It claims that it'll be ready by 2027, and that we may even get a remaster of The Wolf Among Us to go along with it. Firstly, a reminder of […]
