Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano are officially set for a duel of women’s MMA legends.

Fan favorites Nate Diaz and Mike Perry also weighed in without issue for the welterweight co-main event, with Diaz registering at 168.6 pounds and Perry at 169.6.
The third major bout of the billed triple-header features former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou taking on 2018 PFL tournament winner Philipe Lins, and as expected, Ngannou will enter the cage Saturday with a massive size advantage. Ngannou officially weighed in at 257 pounds, almost 37 pounds heavier than Lins (220.6).
All 22 fighters competing Saturday successfully made weight for the inaugural MVP MMA show, which takes place at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and airs live on Netflix.
