Six preliminary bouts will stream live on Tudum at 2 p.m. PT on May 16, opening the Ronda Rousey-Gina Carano MMA event before the main card moves to Netflix later that evening from Los Angeles.
The prelims span welterweight, featherweight and catchweight divisions, with matchups including Adriano Moraes vs. Phumi Nkuta, Aline Pereira vs. Jade Masson-Wong and Chris Avila vs. Brandon Jenkins.
Netflix’s main card is built around a triple-headliner of Rousey vs. Carano, Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry and Francis Ngannou vs. Philipe Lins, plus Salahdine Parnasse vs. Kenneth Cross and Junior Dos Santos vs. Robelis Despaigne.
The May 16 show marks another live combat-sports push for Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions as the streamer expands beyond scripted programming into marquee sports events.
