It was the battle of two legends and an undercard with some heavy hitters.
MVP's MMA debut on Netflix Saturday night provided us with five huge fights that all had plenty of action. It was a fun night for all. Here are some observations from the debut on Netflix.

Netflix is a player in sports
They got the NFL, MLB, WWE, boxing and now MMA. This show had stars, it had big names and names who people will want to know. If you're a sports fan, Netflix is a must. And while it's not cheap, remember when you had to pay $50 for one MMA show?
Quck ain't bad
Four of the five fights ended in the first round. None went to the third round. The night might have been quick, but there action and that's what people want.
UFC could be in trouble
UFC is struggling right now. They don't have as many stars as it used to. Tonight, some of its biggest stars of all time were fighting for MVP. On a night UFC held a card, the talk of the world was MVP.
Ronda Rousey is still a bad person
I mean that in a good way. She is still that fighter who can destroy you. Gina Carano lost this fight before it began. She wasn't good enough to hang with Rousey, but she also was scared. Nice job closing the deal in seconds by Ronda who never game Carano a chance.
Nate Diaz is a bad dude
He didn't want to quit, but during his fight with Mike Perry, the refs stopped it due to a massive cut. He took a beating and kept coming. He has nothing to be ashamed of.
Mike Perry can throw hands
He starred in Bare Knuckle FIghting Championships and he brought those punches to Nate Diaz tonight. Diaz took a lot of punishment from Perry. He's a tough guy and Perry could be a force for MVP going forward.
Everybody hated Jake Paul
Everyone wanted to call out Jake Paul, who was awkwardly standing in the ring. Everyone would challenge him and he'd praise them. It was fun to watch.
MVP could have a good heavyweight divison
After Robelis Despaigne disposed ofJunior dos Santos, he called out Francis Ngannou. Ngannou proved he was worthy of the callout, beating Philipe Lins two fights later. That's a fight I'd like to see. If they have another car,d that should be on it.
Junior dos Santos shouldn't fight anymore
This isn't because he's not tough or he's washed or anything like that. He's been knocked out nine times. That's not good. He shouldn't be knocked out again. It's not safe and he has nothing left to prove. I hope he's done after tonight.
Netflix did it right
These events cater to the casual fan. Just as they did with Mike Tyson, Netflix built a card around a huge star's return and gave some very entertaining fights on the undercard. This was a major win for Netflix.
