Ronda Rousey's Netflix comeback draws criticism. The UFC veteran submitted Gina Carano in just 17 seconds at MVP MMA 1, an event that peaked at nearly 17 million global viewers. However, former UFC contender Matt Brown criticized the entire card as "cringe from top to bottom," calling the matchmaking severely lopsided. Brown specifically targeted Rousey's persona during promotion, suggesting she borrowed elements from her WWE career. He also questioned her conduct and suggested the comeback did nothing to restore fan goodwill in the MMA community. Despite the massive viewership numbers and Rousey's decisive victory, the event faced significant backlash for featuring mismatched fights and prioritizing nostalgia over competitive integrity. Rousey has retired again and is eyeing an executive role with MVP.
