Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian told the MMA community they are \u201chere to stay\u201d after the Ronda Rousey-Gina Carano card<\/a> \u201cbroke the sport\u2019s all-time U.S. viewership record<\/a>,” according to Drake Riggs of UNCROWNED. No discussions have been held yet with Netflix about the future. But Bidarian said that the \u201chope is to snowball these initial efforts into something even greater.\u201d Bidarian said, \u201cThere is a clear opportunity to create an alternative avenue for fighters that truly represents the best of the sport and is fighters first.\u201d With his experience now in both sports, Bidarian \u201clikes the opportunity that awaits after Saturday\u2019s success.\u201d He said, \u201cBoxing is more difficult to own than MMA. I say own — UFC is obviously the reference brand. They\u2019re going to be that for many years to come. But there\u2019s no true No. 2 player. Boxing, there\u2019s six or seven of us putting on premium big events every single week. So, do I think we can come and take a real share within the MMA sphere? Yes.\u201d MVP events do not have to be Netflix-exclusive or even on the platform at all. That would \u201cbe ideal, of course,\u201d but Bidarian wants to \u201cstay in front of the masses at a comfortable frequency\u201d (UNCROWNED, 5\/20<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian told the MMA community they are \u201chere to stay\u201d after the Ronda…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":685519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,18577,786,785,85],"class_list":["post-685518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-combat-sports","tag-fighting","tag-mma","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=685518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/685519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=685518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=685518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=685518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
