標籤: Rousey

On Saturday night, a big MMA event took place in Inglewood, California, without the UFC on its banner. Most Valuable Promotions, with the help of streaming giant Netflix, sought to show that there is life outside the Octagon and delivered an action-packed card full of finishes and cage-fighting greats at MVP MMA 1.

Following the events of the Rousey vs. Carano card inside the Intuit Dome, we take a look at some of the biggest takeaways from a rare successful MMA event not promoted by the UFC.

MVP should build to the Robalis Despaigne vs. Francis Ngannou fight

Two standout performances on the MVP MMA 1 card from two big men competing on Saturday night. Former UFC heavyweight king Francis Ngannou and karate combat champion Robellis Despaigne. Both delivered highlight reel knockouts, especially the Cuban over heavyweight legend Junior dos Santos.

If MVP can afford to bring Ngannou back for their next event, they should do so. Likewise for DeSpain. And the ultimate goal is to build up the latter to feel like a legitimate threat to Cameroonians. A potential clash between the two heavyweights could easily headline MVP MMA 3 or 4 in 2027.

Rousey vs. Carano felt like Strikeforce reborn, and that’s a good thing

It’s been a long time since the UFC had a legitimate competitor in terms of vibe. Certainly, Bellator and the PFL have done their best over the last five-plus years to show that they were a worthwhile alternative to the UFC. However, you have to go back to the early 2010s and the last time Strikeforce had a strong No. 2 option in an MMA game.

On Saturday, MVP MMA 1 felt like Strikeforce was reborn, and that’s a good thing. The California-based brand didn’t fail because it couldn’t deliver a good product. Unfortunately its owners were unwilling to invest the money to make it a long-term success, and the UFC bought out its deep and talented roster.

The way the ring entrances were arranged last night, Mauro Ranallo and Kenny Florian were a rock-solid team on commentary, and with a card that featured some good action and finishes, including a submission win for Ronda Rousey, it felt like Strikeforce had been revived. If this is the way MVP MMA is headed, it’s a great thing for MMA fans.

MVP MMA 1 was an entertaining card, and one of its unique elements was a cross-promotion fight between Tuff-N-Uff’s Lightweight Champion and KSW Champion Kenneth Cross and Salahdin Parnasse. That fight also provided an exciting finish to the first round and was a showcase for casual fans of some of your lesser-known talents in the sport.

If MVP can continue to get top talent from regional promotions from around the world and face them, it could be a really fun showcase element to their fight cards that helps both the fighters and those promotions. More than that please.

Rousey vs. Carano delivers an action-packed card

While the Rousey vs. Carano event started with three straight decisions on the preliminary card, the rest of the event was a roller coaster ride of blood, violence, and knockouts. In the end, this is what MMA fans want, and the lack of highlight reel moments was or has been one of the biggest problems for UFC competitors like Bellator and the PFL.

MVP MMA 1 provided value for fans, and the promotion couldn’t have asked for a better card than Saturday in its debut.

Fighters get paid well on MVP MMA 1 card

A big issue for fight fans has been that the UFC’s monopoly on the sport has resulted in surprisingly low pay for their fighters. This also has many in the boxing sport concerned, as TKO – the parent company of the UFC – wants to get the fighter pay structure of the MMA world leaders down to a sweet science.

However, MVP co-owner Jake Paul has always tried to point out the salary issues for fighters in the UFC and has put his money on MVP MMA 1. CSAC released fight purses for the promotion’s first MMA events, and no fighter earned less than $40,000. Additionally, three competitors earned more than $1 million, with Rousey leading the way with $2.2 million.

MVP MMA being successful and increasing the salaries of fighters is a huge potential for the sport.

The Rousey vs. Carano card felt big and MMA desperately needed it

In the end, MVP MMA 1: Rousey vs. Carano felt huge. Whether you wanted to watch the two female MMA pioneers fight or not, when you watched it on Netflix, the event and their bout felt gorgeous and meaningful. It felt like a mix of a UFC card and a major boxing event.

It’s been two decades since a significant event happened in MMA that had nothing to do with the UFC. The fact that the card was distributed further increased its relevance. MVP MMA 1 was something the game desperately needed, and hopefully there’s more to come.

On Saturday night inside the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix will be shaking up the mixed martial arts game with their Rousey vs. Carano event. The 11-fight card will showcase the past, present and future of the sport and will feature a star-studded main card.

In the night’s headliner, women’s MMA legends and pioneers, Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano, will face off in a dream fight that no one ever expected. Additionally, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou will be in action against one-time PFL Champion Phillip Lynn, and fan favorite brawlers Nate Diaz and Mike Perry will face off in a welterweight bout.

Ahead of Saturday’s card, we offer predictions for who will win the evening’s main card bouts.

Junior Dos Santos vs. Robellis Despaigne

Junior dos Santos will go down as one of the greatest heavyweight fighters in MMA history. However, the 42-year-old has a lot of wear and tear on his body. Especially his chin. While he has won back-to-back fights at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships, he faces a tough matchup against bronze medalist Robellis Despaigne of Cuba on Saturday.

The taekwondo master has speed and length – which he uses well. This is demonstrated during the seven-fight winning streak of the new Karate Combat Heavyweight Champion. If this were 2016, the Brazilian would get the W. But he’s nowhere near that fighter and will have a long night against Despaigne.

Francis Ngannou vs. Philip Lins

At Rousey vs. Carano, former UFC heavyweight king Ngannou returns to the cage for the second time after dethroning the MMA world leader four years ago. While the heavyweight division in MMA is quite weak at the moment, MVP found a strong opponent in “The Predator” Lince.

The former PFL star is entering the fight with a lot of confidence after four consecutive wins in the UFC. However, they were all lightweight. Ngannou will have a massive size and strength advantage. If “Monstro” can stay up and running, he could make this interesting. However, he does not possess great strength, and it seems that it will take only a short time for “The Predator” to catch his prey.

Salahdin Parnasse vs. Kenneth Cross

Saturday’s Rousey vs. Carano main card brings an intriguing battle of champions as KSW lightweight king Salahdin Parnasse faces tough-n-uff 155-pound titlist Kenneth Cross. This bout could easily be Fight of the Night as both are talented finishers.

Parnasse has 14 stoppages in 22 wins (7 knockouts and 7 submissions), while Cross has 13 finishes in 17 wins (6 knockouts and 7 submissions). Finally, Parnasse comes from a better promotion where he faces tougher competition. Look for him to approve the decision later this week.

Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry

The fight most fans are waiting for is the welterweight bout between popular brawler Diaz and Perry. The former is one of the most popular fighters in UFC history. However, the age difference in this scrap cannot be ignored.

Diaz turned 41 last month and has 34 fights to his body and chin. Perry has suffered plenty of brain trauma throughout his 22-fight career, but at age 34, he is a far better athlete than he is right now. At the same time, he brings legal power into his hands and is feeling confident having emerged as one of BKFC’s hottest talents.

Diaz is sure to get a lot of stakes, but expect an upset split-decision win for Perry after scoring a few knockdowns during the fight.

Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano

No one expected a fight between Rousey and Carano to ever happen and there were many who did not want it to happen. But we’re getting it on Netflix, and it’s still a dream fight with historical relevance as two of the most important figures in the evolution of women’s MMA.

Both women are motivated and look to be in good shape – especially Carano. But it won’t be a display of elite athleticism as Rousey turned 39 last month and Carano turned 44. The big question is, can Rousey avoid taking some big shots to dominate Carano and throw her around?

Rousey is very durable and is the better athlete of the two at the moment. Furthermore, Carano never came close to facing a wrestler of the silver medalist judoka’s caliber. “Rowdy” should have learned from the knockouts in her previous two fights and been more cautious as she looked for takedowns and forced Carano to tap in Round 2.

Ronda Rousey has given her most honest account yet about what it was like to work in WWE under Vince McMahon, describing an environment defined by last-minute decisions, poor communication and constant anxiety during an interview with Complex News.

Rousey worked with WWE twice, the first time starting in 2017 and the second time until 2023. She was candid about how the experience of working under McMahon affected her ability to connect with her character.

“I felt like I was creating someone else’s image of myself,” Rousey said. “You could tell when I was allowed to write my own promos and when I wasn’t. I learned a lot from it, and I really enjoyed my time in the ring. I didn’t really enjoy being in the death throes during Vince McMahon’s reign, but there were a lot of great experiences there.”

His second stint with the company was particularly difficult. Rousey described McMahon as being out of touch with the day-to-day reality of running a product and said that the work environment had become increasingly unhealthy by that time.

Ronda Rousey on WWE’s ‘Inner Turmoil’

“I mean, in the second round, Vince had gone too far and was even more difficult to work with, and there was a lot of internal turmoil going on in the company,” Rousey said. “It was kind of a s*** show, and no one ever knew what was going on.

“And you’d get on the field, and you’d be asked to do something that someone threw in your lap that wasn’t thought about until 15 minutes before. Everything was super last minute and not well thought out, and there was no communication, no back-and-forth.”

The psychological impact of that environment was something that Rousey addressed directly.

He said, “Any attempt to collaborate feels like we were trying to negotiate something instead of partnering together to create something great.” “And unfortunately, I love being in the ring and doing this, but the process was like a cluster f–k, sh–t show that was a lot more anxiety-inducing than it was worth.

“I just look back on it, and I just remember the anxiety of not knowing what was going on, and then at the last minute, maybe we’ll be able to get it out of our A- and have a good night, and maybe not. I was definitely Team Triple H rising up to handle it. So, I’ve heard it’s gotten a lot better since he took over things, but unfortunately, I didn’t get to experience it.”

Rousey recently appeared at AEW Revolution with real-life friend Marina Shafir after her match against Toni Storm. She is currently preparing for her fight against Gina Carano this Saturday at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, which is being broadcast live on Netflix.

看起来隆达·鲁西（Ronda Rousey）可能是利用托尼·汗（Tony Khan）和 AEW 来宣传她的 MMA 回归，而不是在她意外出现在 Revolution 上时在公司安排未来的比赛。

本月早些时候，在 AEW Revolution 上托妮·斯托姆 (Toni Storm) 战胜好友玛丽娜·沙菲尔 (Marina Shafir) 后，前 WWE 女子冠军兼摔跤狂热大赛主赛选手出人意料地出现在擂台上。 UFC传奇人物和受欢迎的摔跤手并没有打起来，但他们被官员分开，这似乎为他们之间的未来比赛做好了准备。

然而，几天后，在一个令人困惑的转折中，暴风女在今年剩余的时间里被取消了电视节目。此外，Fightful Select 的肖恩·罗斯·萨普 (Sean Ross Sapp) 报道称，根据他的消息来源，这位 39 岁的选手并没有签订摔跤推广合同。好吧，对于希望看到鲁西在公司参加比赛的 AEW 粉丝来说，又出现了一些坏消息。

据 PW Insider Elite 报道，Rousey 没有计划在不久的将来重返 AEW。此外，这次亮相是一次性的，这样她就可以表达对沙菲尔的支持，同时也宣传她即将在五月与吉娜卡拉诺的综合格斗比赛。

Ronda Rousey 使用了 AEW 吗？

AEW Revolution 在洛杉矶 Crypto.com Arena 举行。鲁西十年来的第一场比赛也将在洛杉矶举行，但地点是 Intuit Dome。由于她住在该地区，而且她的比赛也将在这座城市进行，报道称她的出现是为了给球迷一个惊喜，并宣传 5 月 16 日的比赛。

鲁西当然可以与 AEW 签订合同，并在今年晚些时候或将来在该公司进行比赛。但她仍然可以在为即将到来的比赛进行训练时这样做。此外，这并不是她和 AEW 老板 Tony Khan 第一次见面和合作的机会。三年前，她出人意料地参加了《荣誉之戒》的角逐——这枚戒指也归可汗所有。所以他们已经建立了工作关系。

如果鲁西最终没有与 AEW 签约，那么该公司就会遇到一个从大局来看毫无意义的随机时刻，而她 5 月份在 Netflix 上的对决则获得了大量免费宣传。到目前为止，这似乎确实是一项单方面的交易。

看起來隆達·魯西（Ronda Rousey）可能是利用托尼·汗（Tony Khan）和 AEW 來宣傳她的 MMA 回歸，而不是在她意外出現在 Revolution 上時在公司安排未來的比賽。

本月早些時候，在 AEW Revolution 上托妮·斯托姆 (Toni Storm) 戰勝好友瑪麗娜·沙菲爾 (Marina Shafir) 後，前 WWE 女子冠軍兼摔跤狂熱大賽主賽選手出人意料地出現在擂台上。 UFC傳奇人物和受歡迎的摔跤手並沒有打起來，但他們被官員分開，這似乎為他們之間的未來比賽做好了準備。

然而，幾天后，在一個令人困惑的轉折中，暴風女在今年剩餘的時間裡被取消了電視節目。此外，Fightful Select 的 Sean Ross Sapp 報導，根據他的消息來源，這位 39 歲的選手並沒有簽訂摔角推廣合約。好吧，對於希望看到魯西在公司參加比賽的 AEW 粉絲來說，又出現了一些壞消息。

據 PW Insider Elite 報導，Rousey 沒有計劃在不久的將來重返 AEW。此外，這次亮相是一次性的，這樣她就可以表達對沙菲爾的支持，同時也宣傳她即將在五月與吉娜卡拉諾的綜合格鬥比賽。

Ronda Rousey 使用了 AEW 嗎？

AEW Revolution 在洛杉磯 Crypto.com Arena 舉行。魯西十年來的第一場比賽也將在洛杉磯舉行，但地點是 Intuit Dome。由於她住在該地區，而且她的比賽也將在這座城市進行，報道稱她的出現是為了給球迷一個驚喜，並宣傳 5 月 16 日的比賽。

魯西當然可以與 AEW 簽訂合同，並在今年晚些時候或將來在該公司進行比賽。但她仍然可以在為即將到來的比賽進行訓練時這樣做。此外，這並不是她和 AEW 老闆 Tony Khan 第一次見面和合作的機會。三年前，她出人意料地參加了《榮譽之戒》的競爭——這枚戒指也歸可汗所有。所以他們已經建立了工作關係。

如果魯西最終沒有與 AEW 簽約，那麼該公司就會遇到一個從大局來看毫無意義的隨機時刻，而她 5 月份在 Netflix 上的對決則獲得了大量免費宣傳。到目前為止，這似乎確實是一項單方面的交易。

Jason Burgos 於 2017 年獲得新聞學學位後，擔任多個網站的撰稿人，其中包括 MMA Sucka … 關於 Jason Burgos 的更多信息

托尼·汗在 AEW Revolution 赛后媒体聚集会上明确表示，隆达·鲁西在所有精英摔跤比赛中的大门是敞开的。可汗谈到了他与鲁西的关系，提到了她之前在《荣誉之环》中的工作，并证实她亲自邀请他参加她即将与吉娜·卡拉诺的比赛。

Khan 在 scrum 中直接谈到了这个话题，他说：“Ronda Rousey 是一位巨星。我们和她关系很好。她之前在 ROH 为我摔跤，而且她在 AEW 随时都受到欢迎。

“她将与吉娜·卡拉诺进行一场大战。我根本不认识吉娜·卡拉诺。隆达一直对我很好。我祝她一切顺利。隆达总是欢迎这里，并且欢迎任何来自 AEW 想要参加那场比赛的人。隆达可能会邀请一些人。隆达邀请我参加今晚的比赛。所以我想是的。听起来我们会在那里。”

Rousey 之前曾参加过 ROH 的比赛，该组织隶属于 AEW，因此她对 Khan 的组织已经很熟悉了。汗的评论表明两人之间的关系仍然良好，他愿意亲自参加她的比赛也强调了这一点。即将到来的比赛将由罗西对阵吉娜·卡拉诺，尽管汗指出他个人对卡拉诺并不熟悉。

Rousey 与 Khan 的直接接触以及她对 AEW 人才的广泛邀请表明她与晋升保持着积极的联系。然而，还有一个问题仍然存在。这会导致什么，这也是粉丝们想知道的。

这是否会在某个时候转化为环内回归目前还有待观察，但汗的评论显然为他敞开了大门。随着摔角狂热 42 周末和 AEW 繁忙的春季赛程的到来，罗西未来的任何亮相都将引起相当大的关注。或许，双方可以达成协议。

内特·迪亚兹 (Nate Diaz) 和迈克·佩里 (Mike Perry) 都将重返综合格斗 (MMA)。 Most Valuable Promotions 宣布两人将于 5 月 16 日在洛杉矶 Intuit Dome 进行五轮次中量级比赛。这场比赛将在 Netflix 上直播，并与隆达·鲁西 (Ronda Rousey) 对阵吉娜·卡拉诺 (Gina Carano) 以及弗朗西斯·纳干努 (Francis Ngannou) 对阵费利佩·林斯 (Felipe Lins) 的三重头条比赛的三分之一进行。

自从 2022 年 9 月 UFC 279 的主赛（他 UFC 合同下的最后一场比赛）向托尼·弗格森屈服之后，迪亚兹就没有参加过 MMA 比赛。退出晋升后，他参加了拳击比赛，以判定战胜了豪尔赫·马斯维达尔，然后又输给了杰克·保罗。

佩里缺席综合格斗比赛的时间可以追溯到更早的时候。他最后一次出现在八角笼比赛是在 2021 年 4 月，当时他判定输给了丹尼尔·罗德里格斯。自此，佩里成为了裸拳格斗锦标赛的代言人，为公司取得了6-0的战绩，并夺得了暴力之王的冠军。 5 月 16 日的比赛将是他四年来首次参加 MMA 比赛。

內特·迪亞茲 (Nate Diaz) 和邁克·佩里 (Mike Perry) 都將重返綜合格鬥 (MMA)。 Most Valuable Promotions 宣布兩人將於 5 月 16 日在洛杉磯 Intuit Dome 進行五輪次中量級比賽。這場比賽將在 Netflix 上直播，並與隆達·魯西 (Ronda Rousey) 對陣吉娜·卡拉諾 (Gina Carano) 以及弗朗西斯·納幹努 (Francis Ngannou) 對陣費利佩·林斯 (Felipe Lins) 的三重頭條比賽的三分之一進行。

自從 2022 年 9 月 UFC 279 的主賽（他 UFC 合約下的最後一場比賽）向托尼·弗格森屈服之後，迪亞茲就沒有參加過 MMA 比賽。退出晉升後，他參加了拳擊比賽，以判定戰勝了豪爾赫·馬斯維達爾，然後又輸給了傑克·保羅。

佩里缺席綜合格鬥比賽的時間可以追溯到更早的時間。他最後一次出現在八角籠比賽是在 2021 年 4 月，當時他判定輸給了丹尼爾羅德里格斯。自此，佩里成為了裸拳格鬥錦標賽的代言人，為公司取得了6-0的戰績，並贏得了暴力之王的冠軍。 5 月 16 日的比賽將是他四年來首次參加 MMA 比賽。

在洛杉矶举行的一场新闻发布会上，宣传她即将回归 Netflix 对阵吉娜·卡拉诺 (Gina Carano)，隆达·鲁西 (Ronda Rousey) 对 UFC 传奇人物瓦伦蒂娜·舍甫琴科 (Valentina Shevchenko) 及其在八角笼之外的收入进行了严厉的咆哮。

“这就是为什么他们的冠军，比如瓦伦蒂娜，在 OnlyFans 上出售他们的胸部照片，你知道吗？”鲁西对聚集在 Intuit Dome 的媒体说道。此番言论的目的是强调，在目前的 UFC 薪酬结构下，即使是精英冠军也面临着财务失衡的问题，据报道，拳手们获得的收入不到 20%，而大型拳击赛事的收入标准为 60%。

虽然她的主要目标是晋升 77 亿美元的估值及其相对较低的拳击收入份额，但她以卫冕蝇量级冠军作为她所说的破碎系统的具体例子。

然而，这次注射的个人性质并不适合这位来自吉尔吉斯斯坦的 37 岁冠军。舍甫琴科在 2024 年除夕夜推出了 OnlyFans 页面，分享幕后训练片段和旅行视频博客，并很快做出了回应。

周三早上，“子弹”在社交媒体上驳斥了鲁西的激烈言论。 “现在是 2026 年了。使用 OnlyFans 的拳手只是与粉丝联系的一种新方式，”舍甫琴科在 X 上写道。然后她提到了罗西缺席这项运动十年之久的事情：“看来隆达在 2016 年最后一场比赛后睡得太久了。”

此次交流标志着两位明星之间本已紧张的关系再创新低。就在去年，在罗西批评乔·罗根的综合格斗知识后，舍甫琴科公开为乔·罗根辩护，称罗西的评论缺乏“正义”。目前，这两位拳手各走各的路，根据鲁西针对 UFC 的最新评论，两人可能永远不会在八角笼内解决分歧。

在洛杉磯舉行的一場新聞發布會上，宣傳她即將回歸 Netflix 對陣吉娜·卡拉諾 (Gina Carano)，隆達·魯西 (Ronda Rousey) 對 UFC 傳奇人物瓦倫蒂娜·舍甫琴科 (Valentina Shevchenko) 及其在八角籠之外的收入進行了嚴厲的咆哮。

「這就是為什麼他們的冠軍，例如瓦倫蒂娜，在 OnlyFans 上出售他們的胸部照片，你知道嗎？」魯西對聚集在 Intuit Dome 的媒體說道。此番言論的目的是強調，在目前的 UFC 薪酬結構下，即使是精英冠軍也面臨財務失衡的問題，據報道，拳手們獲得的收入不到 20%，而大型拳擊賽事的收入標準為 60%。

雖然她的主要目標是晉升 77 億美元的估值及其相對較低的拳擊收入份額，但她以衛冕蠅量級冠軍作為她所說的破碎系統的具體例子。

然而，這次注射的個人性質並不適合這位來自吉爾吉斯斯坦的 37 歲冠軍。舍甫琴科在 2024 年除夕夜推出了 OnlyFans 頁面，分享幕後訓練片段和旅行視頻博客，並很快做出了回應。

週三早上，「子彈」在社群媒體上駁斥了魯西的激烈言論。 「現在是 2026 年了。使用 OnlyFans 的拳手只是與粉絲聯繫的一種新方式，」舍甫琴科在 X 上寫道。然後她提到了羅西缺席這項運動十年之久的事情：“看來隆達在 2016 年最後一場比賽後睡得太久了。”

這次交流標誌著兩位明星之間本已緊張的關係再創新低。就在去年，在羅西批評喬·羅根的綜合格鬥知識後，舍甫琴科公開為喬·羅根辯護，稱羅西的評論缺乏“正義”。目前，這兩位拳擊手各走各的路，根據魯西對 UFC 的最新評論，兩人可能永遠不會在八角籠內解決分歧。

In a new interview, Ronda Rousey gave important insight into why her surprise comeback fight won’t take place in the company that made her a household name, the UFC.

Earlier this week, Rousey shocked the fight world when she announced plans for a completely unexpected comeback fight against fellow female MMA pioneer Gina Carano. However, what was more unexpected than his return to the cage after a decade away was that it wouldn’t be inside the UFC’s Octagon.

Rousey showed so much potential as a box office star during her tenure in Strikeforce that White was forced to back down from his announcement that he would not have women’s fights in the UFC. It was the right move as the Olympic silver medalist would emerge as one of their biggest stars during her three years with the company.

Furthermore, White and Rousey developed a legitimate friendship based on her success and ease of conversation. So why hasn’t he returned to the fight game inside the Octagon?

Cost-effective TKO strategy keeps Rousey from making UFC comeback fight

In a new interview with Jim Rome, Rousey talked about her friendship with White and mentioned that she actually first came to her last year about the idea of ​​a fight with Carano. According to the former UFC bantamweight champion, the promotion boss was so excited by the idea that he stuttered during their call.

Following White’s conversation with Carano, Rousey claims she requested that he give her a pay-per-view raise for the fight. The CEO had no problem in doing so. However, when it became clear that a bout would need to take place in 2026, it conflicted with their new media rights deal with Paramount+, where the company was no longer doing PPVs.

“They didn’t want to set the precedent of giving me the guaranteed money that I deserve, because once I raise that tide, it raises all boats,” Rousey said. “They just signed a $7.7 billion deal at Paramount, so it’s in their best interest not to take the best fights possible and spend as little money as possible so they can stay [that standard]. Dana is now legally bound to maximize shareholder value. “

So, it looks like Dana White wanted Ronda Rousey’s comeback fight. But TKO Group Holdings, the UFC’s parent company, wants to use a more cost-effective approach, especially after the Paramount+ deal. Giving her the money she wanted would have harmed those plans.

卡羅琳·杜波依斯相信她可以接管女子拳擊比賽，就像統治 UFC 時的隆達·魯西一樣。

這位 25 歲的球員正在為傑克·保羅 (Jake Paul) 和納基薩·比達里安 (Nakisa Bidarian) 的最有價值晉升 (MVP) 旗幟下的第二次亮相做準備。

4 月 5 日，在倫敦奧林匹亞舉行的一場全英賽事中，杜波依斯將與特麗·哈珀 (Terri Harper) 進行 10 多輪比賽，爭奪 WBO 和 WBC 輕量級世界冠軍頭銜。

自稱為“女子拳擊之鄉”的MVP首次進軍英國市場，對未來有著宏偉的規劃，已經搶購了幾位英國最紅的女明星。

週五，六名英國運動員出席了在倫敦奧林匹亞舉行的賽前新聞發布會。

杜波依斯充滿信心，她將哈珀稱為她的“彩票”，標誌著她未來在這項運動中的傳奇的開始。

與此同時，哈珀認為她被年輕的對手忽視了，併計劃利用她在拳擊場上的經驗來製造麻煩。

儘管如此，這部英國大片標誌著英國女子拳擊的巨大篇章，杜波依斯計劃充分利用這一點。

卡羅琳·杜布斯：隆達·魯西是我注意到的第一個女人

在新聞發布會上，這位倫敦人在表達自己對這項運動的感受時提到了魯西，她認為這項運動需要“另一張面孔”——繼凱蒂·泰勒和克拉麗莎·希爾茲之後——才能突破並突破極限。

隨後，“Sweet Caroline”接受了 sport.com 採訪，並被問到為什麼她有信心取得與 UFC 傳奇人物類似的成功。
