"How's THAT for a bamf laden double headliner? That's what happens when you put fighters and fans ahead of shareholders. P.S. UFC's White House card sucks."
"As one-half of the first women's bout in the UFC, Rousey helped usher in a new era in the Las Vegas-based promotion. The Olympic judoka captured bantamweight gold while emerging as one of the UFC's biggest stars during her tenure, which ended following a loss to Amanda Nunes in December 2016."
Most Valuable Promotions announced Francis Ngannou will face Philipe Lins in the co-main event of its May 16 Netflix card in Los Angeles, joining Ronda Rousey's headline bout against Gina Carano. Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, was recently released from his Professional Fighters League contract. Rousey celebrated the announcement on social media, calling it a strong double-header that prioritizes fighters and fans over shareholders. She also took a direct shot at the UFC, dismissing their White House card. Rousey, a former UFC bantamweight champion and Olympic judoka, helped pioneer women's fighting in the UFC before departing in 2016. She now appears positioned as a competitor to UFC leadership.
