Prior to the announcement on Monday, MVP's first MMA event was due to be headlined by the Rousey-Caranao fight and co-headlined by the return of Francis Ngannou against Philipe Lins . But as the card continues to expand MVP has added a fight a between two fighters who cut their teeth in UFC, only to have since earned arguably larger pay-days for losses against Jake Paul in boxing.
Diaz and Perry never met in the cage before, so this is a first-time match-up between two veteran names in the combat sports space. "Group chats everywhere are about to explode over this one... ," the announcement read.
