Francis Ngannou Could Influence Netflix's Decision on Future MMA Events

A report suggests that only a major fight featuring Francis Ngannou could prompt Netflix to consider another MVP MMA event, despite the success of the first card.

The mixed martial arts event hosted by MVP on Netflix in May is reportedly not set to be followed by another. Francis Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, was a prominent figure in the lineup at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.

Ngannou's victory over Philipe Lins contributed to the event's excitement, culminating in Ronda Rousey's submission win against Gina Carano in the main event. However, as MVP merges with the PFL, the likelihood of a permanent presence on Netflix appears slim, with no broadcast deal currently in place.

Despite the initial success of the event, which peaked at 17 million viewers, Netflix has no immediate plans for another MVP MMA card. A recent report indicates that only a significant fight involving Ngannou could change this stance, particularly a matchup against Jon Jones, who remains under UFC contract. This situation coincides with a leadership change at Netflix, raising questions about the future of MVP MMA within the platform's content strategy.
