Dear @RondaRousey @netflix Ronda Rousey’s “Matchmaking” at MVP Productions Was an Absolute Disgrace to MMA I’m a passionate MMA fan. I really love this sport. I respect the fighters who grind every day, who put their bodies and hearts on the line for real wars that remind us why we watch. But what I saw last night on Netflix with MVP Productions and Ronda Rousey was an absolute disgrace to MMA. Ronda wasn’t just fighting on the card — she was the quote-unquote matchmaker, basically playing Hunter Campbell for the whole show. She’s the one who put these fights together. And man, it was shameful. Look at the matchups she booked. They were one-way train wrecks from top to bottom. Junior Dos Santos, a former UFC heavyweight champion and a legend in this game, got thrown in against Robelis Despaigne. It was over quick — another first-round knockout. Then you’ve got Felipe Lins stepping up against Francis Ngannou. Remember when Francis was in the PFL saying any opponent fighting him should earn no less than a million dollars? That was the price they had to pay to step in the cage with him. Yet reports say Felipe Lins only got $100,000 last night. One hundred thousand. While Francis walked with $1.5 million. That’s not a fight — that’s a payday with a body attached. And don’t even get me started on Mike Perry versus Nate Diaz. Nate hadn’t fought in years. The last time we saw him he basically gave up in the cage. Now you’re asking him to step in against Mike Perry — a guy who’s still active, still bare-knuckle fighting, still the self-proclaimed “King of Violence.” Perry absolutely molested Nate Diaz. He knocked him out and left his face looking like it went through a meat grinder by the end of the round. Ronda put that fight together too. Then the main event: Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano. Seventeen seconds. An armbar. Done. Gina had no business being in there with her after all those years away, yet Ronda comes out gloating afterward, talking like she’s the best of all time. Come on. That’s like Michael Jordan coming out of retirement to play against a high school team and then calling himself the GOAT again. These weren’t fights. They were quick, scripted-looking highlight reels designed for easy wins and big paydays for the big names. No heart. No back-and-forth. No respect for the sport or the fans who tuned in expecting actual competition. Real fighters like JDS, Lins, and a faded Nate Diaz got fed to the wolves for entertainment value, while Ronda celebrated like she put on the fight of the year. This is what MVP Productions and Netflix gave us? A cynical cash grab wrapped in nostalgia. MMA has fought for years to be taken seriously as a legitimate sport. Events like this make casual fans roll their eyes and call it fake. They make dedicated fans like me furious and embarrassed for the game we love. Ronda Rousey, as the person in charge of these matchups, carries a big part of the blame. She let the fighters down. She let the fans down. And she let the sport down. I love MMA too much to stay quiet about this. Fighters deserve fair shots and real opportunities, not to be used as cannon fodder. Fans deserve actual fights, not 17-second memes. And this sport deserves way better than the disgrace we witnessed last night.
