Quick read

Francis Ngannou has been added to the May 16 MVP MMA card, marking his return to MMA competition. This represents a significant opportunity for the former UFC heavyweight champion to get back on track after his last UFC fight in 2022. Ngannou subsequently signed with the PFL in May 2023 and fought Anthony Joshua in March 2024, followed by a Henry Gejbal bout. His return to MMA marks his first fight since October 2024. The announcement was made on Saturday night during UFC 326, and Netflix's involvement in the MVP MMA card represents a major development for the sport's mainstream visibility.
