Injury Shock Hits Rousey vs Carano Netflix Fight Card Before May 16 Showdown
A major shake-up has hit one of the most anticipated combat sports events of the year and it comes just weeks before fight night. The spotlight was already locked on Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano, but now a sudden injury withdrawal has changed the conversation around the entire card.
Lorenz Larkin has been forced to pull out of his scheduled bout against Jason Jackson due to a knee injury. The announcement came directly from Larkin, who confirmed he will be stepping away from the fight to focus on recovery and rehabilitation. It is a tough setback for the veteran fighter, who had been preparing for a high-profile clash on a card designed to draw global attention through Netflix.
This event, set for May 16 at the Intuit Dome in California, was already being billed as a landmark moment for Most Valuable Promotions. With Rousey and Carano headlining, it has been positioned as a crossover spectacle that blends legacy names with modern MMA star power. But the loss of Larkin adds uncertainty to the undercard and raises questions about whether a replacement opponent will be found in time for Jason Jackson.

Larkin’s withdrawal is not just about one fight being removed. It affects momentum, matchmaking and the overall structure of a card that is trying to make a strong statement on a global streaming platform. Jackson, a former Bellator champion, now faces an unclear path forward as promoters decide whether to reshuffle the lineup or leave the slot vacant.
For fans, the bigger picture remains centered on the main event. Ronda Rousey’s return to a major spotlight alongside Gina Carano continues to drive massive interest, with expectations already running high. But in combat sports, cards are always vulnerable to last-minute changes and this injury is a reminder of how quickly plans can shift.
As fight night approaches, attention now turns to how promoters respond. Whether a new opponent steps in or adjustments are made, the pressure is on to maintain the strength of a card that has been months in the making.
