Fight fans can now circle May 16 as the biggest MMA event of the year, with apologies to the UFC’s “Freedom 250” card. That card might have more meaning to certain divisions inside the UFC, but for name value, Netflix and MVP have knocked it out of the park.

Diaz (21-13 MMA) exited the UFC in 2022 off a win over Tony Ferguson, after butting heads with the promotion over a new contract. Instead, he fought out his existing deal, then made his way into boxing, where he defeated old BMF rival Jorge Masvidal before losing a big-money bout to Jake Paul.

That fight, which was co-promoted between MVP and Diaz’s own production company, likely set up the foundation for Diaz to work with Paul once again. The pair have long been a match-up fans wanted to see in MMA for the sheer novelty of it— but Perry, a fellow former UFC star, is unquestionably the more appropriate fight.

Perry (14-8), like Diaz, parted ways with the UFC a few years back, off a loss to Daniel “D-Rod” Rodriguez. He made his way into boxing, losing to Jake Paul but winning BKFC’s “King of Violence” title in the bare-knuckle realm (and going as far as defending it against Jeremy Stephens last October, improving to 6-0 as a bare-knuckle boxer).

Neither fighter has fought in MMA since exiting the UFC, which if nothing else puts them on even footing. And the trash talk alone in this one should be legendary.

Netflix’s first foray into MMA alongside MVP takes place at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, CA on May 16, 2026.

“NFL star running back Le’Veon Bell & elite UFC striker Uriah Hall will face off as part of the MVP SHOWTIME PPV event headlined by Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva,” MVP wrote in its statement. “Bell and Hall will be making their pro boxing debuts in a 4 round cruiserweight bout contracted at 195lbs.”

Hall (17-11 MMA) retired following his loss to Andre Muniz at UFC 276 in July. The striker holds knockouts in MMA over big names including one of the headliners. Hall defeated Silva via TKO in Oct 2020.

Bell is coming off an exhibition victory over fellow former NFL pro bowler Adrian Peterson in September.
