The MVP MMA 1 event, scheduled for May 16, 2026, on Netflix, has encountered a setback as Lorenz Larkin has withdrawn from his bout against Jason Jackson due to a knee injury. Larkin announced his withdrawal on social media, expressing regret to fans and promising to focus on rehabilitation. This withdrawal is significant as Larkin, known for his striking prowess, had been a formidable competitor, boasting a record of 27-8 and a history of impressive finishes in previous bouts. As of now, there has been no official word from Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) or Netflix regarding a replacement for Jackson. The event remains headlined by the highly anticipated fight between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano, alongside other notable matchups including Francis Ngannou vs. Philipe Lins and Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry.
