Along with other exciting fighters from around the world, these matchups make the card even bigger and reflect the true global scale of the sport. We continue to prove that MVP and Netflix can create blockbuster live events that bring together fans and fighters from everywhere to create the biggest nights in sports. This is what we do.”
