Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano has an official Netflix trailer for the May 16 MVP MMA event at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
The trailer presents the fight as Netflix’s first live MMA broadcast and uses studio training footage, faceoff shots, fast edits, and narration around both women returning to competition. It does not include Rousey’s UFC title footage or Carano’s Strikeforce clips, so the promo focuses on the comeback instead of archived fight highlights.
Netflix used one short line to frame the trailer.
“Blink…and you bleed,” Netflix wrote.
Watch the official trailer below:
Rousey And Carano Bring Different MMA Legacies To Netflix
Rousey won bronze in judo at the 2008 Olympics, became Strikeforce women’s bantamweight champion, and later became the UFC’s first women’s bantamweight champion. She finished her MMA run at 12-2 with nine submission wins and entered the UFC Hall of Fame in 2018.
Carano went 7-1 in MMA, competed in EliteXC and Strikeforce, and became one of the early television draws for women’s MMA before the UFC introduced a women’s division. Her 2009 fight with Cris Cyborg was the first women’s bout to headline a major MMA event. She has not competed since that loss, making the Rousey bout her first MMA fight in roughly 17 years.
Netflix’s video description also lists Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry and Francis Ngannou vs. Philipe Lins for the broadcast. That gives MVP MMA a veteran-heavy card built around recognizable names, matching the promotion’s recent push around Rousey and Carano.
Jake Paul has framed MVP MMA as a fighter-focused alternative with a major streaming partner.
“It’s very, very needed in the sport,” Paul told Complex News. “I think it’s been a monopoly for so long, run by the UFC, and the fighters haven’t had another place to go where they get the exposure and more pay.
“And so MVP MMA is providing that with some of the biggest names, and obviously, the biggest streaming platform. So, it’s really a monumental shift in the timeline for MMA fighters, and for MMA fans. Because we want to provide the best and the biggest fights, and go head-to-head with the big dogs. It’s just a very exciting time for everyone because of that.”
The trailer shows how Netflix is positioning the card. Rousey brings UFC and WWE crossover fame, Carano brings early women’s MMA history, Diaz and Perry add another combat sports rivalry, and Ngannou gives the lineup a former UFC heavyweight champion. The broadcast now has to prove that those names still translate after long MMA layoffs.
