MVP MMA Netflix Adds Nate Diaz vs Mike Perry — But Is It a Real Promotion or a Pro Wrestling Spot Show?

By: Jon Simon from the Editorial Staff

The MVP MMA Netflix card on May 16 keeps getting bigger. Nate Diaz vs Mike Perry now joins Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano and Francis Ngannou vs Philipe Lins in a star-studded triple headliner at the Intuit Dome. But Dave Simon argues the entire card feels like a pro wrestling spot show — big names, no young talent, and no long-term promotional structure. Meanwhile, Khamzat Chimaev vs Sean Strickland has been confirmed for UFC 328 in Newark, and the hosts break down Murphy vs Evloev at UFC London.

Best Form of Martial Arts for Self Defense: 5 That Actually Work

By: Jon Simon from the Editorial Staff

WrestleMania 42 Card Takes Shape as Randy Orton Bloodies Cody Rhodes

By: Jon Simon from the Editorial Staff

Randy Orton sat across from Cody Rhodes at the WrestleMania 42 contract signing, told him everything he wanted to hear, and then kicked him in the groin, smashed his head between a steel chair and the ring steps, and left him bleeding while holding the WWE Championship. That is how you build a WrestleMania main event. Dave Simon and Genesis Johnny North watched it unfold live, simultaneously booking out the full 13-match card across two nights. They also previewed every match on the AEW Revolution card, splitting on the main event — Dave picks Hangman Page, Johnny picks MJF in the Texas Death Match. Plus: Seth Rollins’ masked army gets torched, Danhausen’s curse works, and Team Canada falls to the USA in the WBC quarterfinals.

UFC Freedom 250 Exposes the UFC’s Broken Promise Machine

By: Jon Simon from the Editorial Staff

The UFC promised us the greatest card in history for the White House event. Six or seven title fights. Jon Jones. Conor McGregor. Francis Ngannou. What we actually received was UFC Freedom 250 — a card with Topuria vs Gaethje and Pereira vs Gane, but no superstars, no superfights, and the quiet confirmation that Jon Jones will never fight in the UFC again. This week, Jones fired back at Dana White on Twitter revealing he was actively negotiating and received stem cell treatment. Ronda Rousey went scorched earth on the streaming model. And the Conor Benn Zufa Boxing payday exposed how dramatically the UFC undervalues its own fighters. Dave Simon calls it what it is: over-promising and under-delivering.
