And it seems that each he and Diaz are very excited about making it occur after the YouTuber won their 2023 boxing match handily.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nakisa Bidarian believes Rousey vs Carano can be first of many Netflix and MVP MMA events<\/h2>\n<p>Historically, Netflix\u2019s output in sport has been reserved for major events with a point of a gimmick attached. Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson was their debut hit in November of 2024, which was followed up by Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 3 and Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford promoted by Dana White.<\/p>\n<p>They were set to broadcast bouts with Alvarez and Gervonta Davis for Paul last yr, but each fell through at various stages. This Saturday they dip their toe in additional regular boxing as Tyson Fury returns to the ring against Arslanbek Makhmudov in London.<\/p>\n<p>As for MMA, Bidarian believes it might be the same trajectory for each Most Worthwhile Promotions and Netflix going forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel just like Paul-Tyson that is our first event with Netflix in MMA,\u201d Bidarian explained. \u201cI&#8217;m confident the event will do well, depending on how well it does I\u2019m also very confident we are going to do more MVP MMA events with Netflix and potentially others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lane is wide open, there\u2019s UFC after which there\u2019s PFL at some level that\u2019s competing with it and it\u2019s a distant competition. Unlike boxing where you&#8217;ve gotten Top Rank, Golden Boy, PBC, Matchroom, Queensberry, MVP, Misfits Pro now, on and on and on. MMA is wide open from my perspective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s type of funny, Nate Diaz called Jake out for MMA,\u201d Bidarian noted when asked for a standing update on Paul\u2019s injury. \u201cI do know that Jake goes to come back out and say \u2018listen, beat Mike Perry and we are able to run it in MVP MMA, so we\u2019ll see how that develops.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nate Diaz rematch was a possible Jake Paul substitute bout last yr<\/h2>\n<p>Diaz was one in all the names floated around Netflix when Paul ultimately decided to fight Anthony Joshua last yr after Gervonta Davis was forced out of their exhibition bout as a consequence of legal issues. That was for a boxing rematch, Bidarian reminded us, however the second fight within the cage has been brewing for years.<\/p>\n<section class=\"grv-talking-point\" data-trigger=\"vue-sidebar\" data-story-id=\"1e3a1400-e958-42e4-b08e-f03e83dea380\" data-story-name=\"Boxing\" data-comment-id=\"4a64cd39-bcad-452d-97e0-680c2c331114\" data-story-slug=\"boxing\">\n<div class=\"grv-talking-point__inner\">\n<header class=\"grv-talking-point__header\">  <\/header>\n<div class=\"grv-talking-point__content\">\n<div class=\"grv-talking-point__cta\">\n<div class=\"grv-talking-point__title-wrap\">\n<div class=\"grv-talking-point__title-content\">\n<h3 class=\"grv-talking-point__title\">Could Jake Paul develop into President?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"grv-talking-point__subtitle\">With President Donald Trump giving Jake Paul his full endorsement, would you vote for a President Paul?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"grv-talking-point__embed\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 991px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1\/2026\/03\/BE-GRAPHIC-819x1024.png\" alt=\"Talking Points graphic showing Jake Paul and Donald Trump\" class=\"wp-image-297644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1\/2026\/03\/BE-GRAPHIC-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1\/2026\/03\/BE-GRAPHIC-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1\/2026\/03\/BE-GRAPHIC-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1\/2026\/03\/BE-GRAPHIC-912x1140.png 912w, https:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1\/2026\/03\/BE-GRAPHIC-600x750.png 600w, https:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1\/2026\/03\/BE-GRAPHIC.png 1080w\"><\/div><figcaption title=\"Credit: Andrew Harnik\/Getty Images\">Credit: Andrew Harnik\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>\u201cFor those who recall, Jake talked about doing MMA against Nate Diaz for a very long time in PFL,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe numbers just couldn\u2019t work for Nate Diaz when it comes to what he wanted and what PFL desired to do.
