Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano Make Weight, Francis Ngannou Holds Significant Size Advantage

MMA legends Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano are set for their highly anticipated showdown.

At Friday's official weigh-ins for the inaugural MVP MMA event, broadcast on Netflix, Rousey and Carano successfully made weight for their featherweight bout. Rousey tipped the scales at 142 lbs (64.4 kg), while Carano weighed in at 141.3 lbs (64.1 kg). This marked Rousey's first official weigh-in since her last UFC fight in 2016 and Carano's first since retiring from the sport in 2009.

Fan favorites Nate Diaz and Mike Perry also comfortably made weight for the co-main event welterweight clash. Diaz registered 168.4 lbs (76.4 kg), with Perry coming in at 169.8 lbs (77 kg).

The third major bout on the announced triple main card features former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou against 2018 PFL tournament winner Philipe Lins. As expected, Ngannou will enter the cage on Saturday with a significant size advantage. He officially weighed 256.8 lbs (116.5 kg), nearly 37 lbs (17 kg) heavier than Lins.

All 22 fighters competing on Saturday successfully made weight for MVP MMA's debut event. The fight night will take place at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and will be streamed live on Netflix. The event is expected to kick off at 9:00 PM PT (4:00 AM GMT+2).
