When and where is Rousey vs Carano taking place?

Rousey vs Carano will take place on 16 May, with the fights held at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California, USA.

Main event odds

The main event sees 2 legends of women’s MMA face off for the very first time. Ronda Rousey, who was once one of the most dominant UFC champions, returns to the cage to face Gina Carano.

Ronda Rousey

Rousey has a professional MMA record of 12-2, with 6 wins and 2 losses in the UFC. She hasn’t fought since 2016, when she lost to Amanda Nunes in a title fight. This fight followed her first-ever professional defeat the year before. Rousey had lost her belt to Holly Holm after racking up an impressive 6 title defences.

Gina Carano

Carano has been out of the sport since retiring in 2009 after losing to Cris Cyborg. She has a pro record of 7-1, but never fought in the UFC as women’s divisions weren’t added until 2012.

Rousey vs Carano fight odds

Both Carano and Rousey were trailblazers for women’s MMA, helping to popularise it and making it what it is today. In this fight, Rousey is a significant favourite, mostly down to the fact that she’s 5 years younger. In addition, Carano retired 17 years ago, while Rousey hasn’t been inside the Octagon for 10 years.

Main card fight odds

Ngannou vs Lins

The co-main event sees the return of Francis Ngannou, one of the heaviest-hitting fighters that MMA has ever seen. Ngannou has a professional MMA record of 18-3, with 12 wins and 2 losses in the UFC. He left the UFC as the undisputed champion and had a brief stint as a boxer, fighting former heavyweight champions. Ngannou then returned to MMA in 2024 with a win over Renan Ferreira in PFL, but hasn’t fought since.

Ngannou’s opponent is Felipe Lins, who has an MMA record of 18-5, with 4 wins and 2 losses in the UFC, and 4 wins in the PFL. His last fight was a win over Ion Cutelaba in the UFC in 2024, but he’s a massive underdog for this matchup. The MMA odds favour Ngannou thanks to his impressive resume and heavy knockout power.

Diaz vs Perry

Also on the MVP: MMA card is a fight between fan favourites Nate Diaz and Mike Perry. Nate Diaz holds a 21-13 pro record, with 16 wins and 11 losses in the UFC. His last fight in MMA was a submission win over Tony Ferguson. Since then, he lost a boxing match against Jake Paul before beating Jorge Masvidal by unanimous decision.

Meanwhile, Perry has an MMA record of 14-8, but left the UFC in 2021 with 7 wins and 8 losses. Since then, he’s become a star of bare-knuckle boxing, winning all 6 of his fights, including 2 title fights.

Thanks to his recent activity and wins, Perry is a slight betting favourite according to the latest odds. However, Diaz has slightly more recent MMA experience.
