Ahead of its debut mixed martial arts event on Netflix on May 16, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) has finalized the bout list for the show, which is set to take place at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

Alongside the previously announced high-profile bouts between Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, Francis Ngannou vs. Philipe Lins, and Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry, the following fights have been added:

Salahdine Parnasse vs. Kenneth Cross

France’s Salahdine Parnasse (22-2) has long been considered one of the brightest talents in MMA not signed to the UFC. The 28-year-old, who has won titles at both 145 and 155 pounds under the KSW banner, is set to take on Kenneth Cross (17-4), who has recently appeared in both Bellator and Dana White’s Contender Series.

Junior Dos Santos vs. Robelis Despaigne

Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos (21-10 MMA, 15-8 UFC) will take on fellow Octagon veteran Robelis Despaigne (5-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in a bout that should guarantee fireworks.

The 42-year-old dos Santos has gone 2-1 since departing the UFC in 2020, with both wins coming in Jorge Masvidal’s Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA promotion. Former taekwondo standout Despaigne left the UFC after a disappointing run of results late in 2024 but has rebounded in style, winning seven fights in a row under the Karate Combat banner.

Muhammad Mokaev vs. Adriano Moraes

Another former UFC star will also be in action on May 16 as Muhammad Mokaev (15-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) faces Adriano Moraes (21-6). Mokaev parted ways with the UFC under a cloud two years ago, but has been largely successful since, winning in multiple promotions and capturing the BRAVE CF flyweight title.

Moraes announced his departure from ONE this week, where he previously held the bantamweight title and also picked up a win over the great Demetrious Johnson.
