Shots fired: Ronda Rousey trashes UFC White House card

Ronda Rousey was feeling triumphant after Most Valuable Promotions added Francis Ngannou to its upcoming event.

Rousey will headline the MVP event against Gina Carano in a card broadcast via Netflix on May 16 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. On Tuesday, the promotion announced that Ngannou will face Philipe Lins in the evening’s heavyweight co-main event. Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, was released from his Professional Fighters League contract last week.

"[Ngannou vs. Lins] joins [Rousey vs. Carano] on Netflix May 16,” Rousey wrote on social media.
