A star-studded broadcast team is set for this weekend’s MVP MMA event.
Promotional officials confirmed the broadcast details to MMA Fighting for Rousey vs. Carano, which takes place Saturday night at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., and streams exclusively on Netflix. Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano is set for the main event in a featherweight contest.
On Saturday night’s broadcast, Mauro Ranallo will handle the play-by-play, with former UFC fighter and broadcaster Kenny Florian joining as color commentator. Sibley Scoles will be roving reporter, with Sean Wheelock on rules and scoring duty.
The analyst desk will be led by Elle Duncan, who will be joined by former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and veteran journalist Ariel Helwani. Guests joining the desk throughout the night include former UFC champs Jon Jones and Cain Velasquez, along with Cat Zingano.
The preliminary card kicks off at 6 p.m. ET on the MVP YouTube channel, with the main card on Netflix beginning at 9 p.m. ET.
For the rest of fight week, Scoles is set to serve as cageside reporter during Wednesday’s open workouts, while Kody “Big Mo” Mommaerts — who will be the ring announcer for fight night — serves as emcee. The workouts begin at 9 p.m. ET on the MVP YouTube channel.
Helwani hosts the press conference on Thursday, featuring the entire lineup, while the ceremonial weigh-ins feature Scoles as host, along with Woodley and Florian serving as analysts, additional reporting from Helwani, and bonus commentary from Velasquez. The ceremonial weigh-ins and press conference both kick off at 9 p.m. ET on the MVP YouTube channel.
Cain is out of prison already I thought he got like 7 years
Been out for months. He got 4 years with time served I believe.
Don’t get me wrong I ain’t mad if some daycare worker molested my son I would try to kill them too. If Cain really is out already he is a straight boss
Damn it’s been 4 years already? Time flies. I did a one year sentence since his thing so I guess it adds up
Jones? So he’s done with the UFC? No way Dana lets his champ work for another promotion
Are you the one who told me that even though my grandparents came here from Sicily and my dad barely spoke English Im not Italian lol
No, I said you’re a stupid fuck whose not Italian and called Sicily it’s own country. So basically speaking facts to a compulsive lying idiot.
Why Cat Zingano?
UFC fighters are independent contractors, so commentary for another org may not be against the terms of the deal, fwiw.
Egg won’t like it
Only thing I can think of is because of the Ronda/Gina stuff. Wanted a female fighter. I’m not sure if she fought Gina but she fought Ronda? Either way she’s a chick with a legit background calling it with another chick fight.
Commentary teams are only as good as their lead person, and the espn chick and helwani are both complete ass
