Philipe Lins live blog for the main card heavyweight bout at MVP MMA: Rousey vs. Carano on Saturday at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. This is just Ngannou’s second MMA fight since parting ways with the UFC as the promotion’s heavyweight champion in 2022.

Ngannou (18-3) made one appearance for PFL, scoring a fast knockout of Renan Ferreira, but his main focus was booking a pair of high-profile boxing matches against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. He went 0-2 in the boxing ring, losing a controversial split decision to Fury and then being brutally knocked out by Joshua. Now, he looks to remind everyone why he has long been regarded as the No.

1 heavyweight in the world. Lins (18-5) also fought for the PFL, winning a heavyweight tournament in 2018 before signing with the UFC. After going 0-2 in his first two UFC appearances, Lins dropped down to light heavyweight and put together four consecutive wins.
