Nate Diaz to Return Against Mike Perry on the Rousey-Carano Undercard
By Eddie Sanchez
Nate Diaz vs Mike Perry will join Netflix’s highly anticipated May card and be contested under the Unified Rules of MMA over five five-minute rounds in the welterweight division. Diaz, long known for his relentless pressure and durability, and Perry, a knockout artist whose aggressive style has earned him the nickname “King of Violence,” add another layer of excitement to what is building up to be a star-studded spectacle.
The addition of Diaz vs Perry alongside Ngannou vs. Lins and Rousey vs Carano creates what MVP describes as one of the most star-powered MMA fight cards ever assembled.
Together, the three fights bring together some of the most recognizable names in MMA and combat sports.
“Glad to be back in action. It’s time,” said Diaz. “Don’t forget where this all came from. I got plans on doing a lot more in the next 10 years, no matter where it is. Time to set the bar again, so get ready for a new takeover again and again until the end of time.”
“MVP delivered the most-viewed boxing event since the advent of cable, and now we’re set to break records again with the biggest viewership in MMA history,” said Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of Most Valuable Promotions. “Nate Diaz is the Real BMF, and Mike Perry is the King of Violence — this will be a war from the first press conference all the way to the end when one of them has their hand raised. It’s an absolutely massive night of fights in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 16th, as we continue building some of the biggest global events in combat sports. Thank you to Netflix for believing in our vision. The future of MMA is bright.”
