Injury Woes
„I’m sorry to all the fans but I had to pull out of the Netflix
card due to knee injury,“ Larkin wrote on Instagram Stories. „Will
be rehabing it back to 100% and will be back.”
Larkin, 39, hasn’t competed in MMA since 2024 when he earned a pair
of first-round stoppage victories over Alan
Dominguez and Levan
Chokheli. More recently, “Monsoon” split a pair of bouts under
the Karate Combat banner in 2025.
The 35-year-old Jackson last appeared in the semifinals of the
Professional Fighters League welterweight tournament, where he
dropped a split decision to eventual champion Thad Jean
last June.
Most Valuable Promotions „Rousey vs. Carano“ airs on Netflix
and is headlined by a women’s featherweight duel pitting Ronda
Rousey against Gina Carano.
Other featured bouts include a heavyweight clash between Francis
Ngannou and Philipe
Lins and a welterweight tilt between Nate Diaz and
Mike
Perry.
