MVP MMA 1: Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano Live Winners and Losers, Results

Lyle FitzsimmonsMay 16, 2026

Welcome to the MMA time machine.

Two of the trailblazers on the women's side of the sport—former UFC bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey and ex-Strikeforce title challenger Gina Carano—are back in the competitive hurt business after a pair of prolonged absences.

Together, they'll headline Jake Paul's first foray into another side of combat sports promotion, an 11-bout show at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

Rousey, 39, hasn't fought professionally since a 48-second loss to Amanda Nunes on the UFC 207 show in December 2016, foregoing non-scripted competition in favor of appearances with the WWE, Ring of Honor and AEW pro wrestling outfits.

Carano, meanwhile, turned 44 last month and was last active in a failed bid for the Strikeforce featherweight belt in 2009, losing by TKO to Cris Cyborg. She's spent much of her post-fight time as an actress, appearing in the Fast & Furious 6 movie and two seasons of The Mandalorian in 2019 and 2020.

B/R's combat team is in the building in southern California to take in all the action and deliver a real-time account of the show's definitive winners and losers. Take a look at what we come up with and drop a thought in the app comments.
