There's also an anticipated fight on MVP MMA 1 which takes place at heavyweight. It's a battle between PFL alumni as Francis Ngannou (18-3 MMA) collides with Philipe Lins (18-5 MMA.)
LIke the main and co-main attractions, it's a five-round tussle at five minutes apiece. Tonight's contest is Lins' first since March of 2024, when he left the UFC's active roster after a unanimous decision win versus Ion Cutelaba.
