Rousey blames UFC marketing for missed opportunities, hints MVP-MMA could rival UFC

Ronda Rousey blasts UFC chief Hunter Campbell for allegedly not knowing how to market fighters, recalling his remark about marketing 40-year-old fighters. She cites MVP MMA’s Netflix event headlined by Rousey and Gina Carano that drew over 17 million viewers to argue the UFC missed a huge opportunity and that MVP could become a serious rival. Rousey also praises broader competition from promoters like Scott Coker and says she isn’t certain about returning to fighting, but hopes MVP continues staging big events and possibly involves Nate Diaz.

Dean backs call in Moraes-Nkuta MVP finish

Referee Herb Dean said on The Ariel Helwani Show that he is certain the Moraes–Nkuta finish at the MVP MMA Netflix event was correct: Nkuta went unconscious before the final bell, Moraes briefly held the choke but didn’t warrant disqualification, and the fight was stopped at 4:59 of the third round with Moraes winning by submission. Nkuta’s team has appealed the outcome; two judges had Nkuta winning rounds 1 and 2, but Dean maintained the decision stands and a scorecard reversal wasn’t pursued.

Rousey-Carano headlined MVP MMA debut ends in swift fashion, leaving questions about the promotion’s future

Ronda Rousey submitted Gina Carano in 17 seconds via armbar to headline MVP MMA’s Netflix-backed debut, which also featured Mike Perry’s dominating win over Nate Diaz and Francis Ngannou’s power finish. The event drew mixed reviews for pacing, production, and star power, with debates about viewership numbers and whether MVP can sustain momentum. Some praise focused on standout performances (like Salahdine Parnasse), while others warned the venture needs a clearer lineup, a refreshed broadcast team, and strong follow-up cards to avoid fizzing out after a high-profile hype cycle. If Netflix backs it and MVP builds real stars, there may be a future; otherwise, it risks being a one-off.
