Mike Perry defeated Nate Diaz by doctor stoppage in their highly anticipated cross-promotional bout, according to Yahoo Sports and talkSPORT, both reporting on the Rousey vs. Carano fight card streamed by Netflix on 17 May 2026.
The contest was halted in the later rounds after repeated, severe facial lacerations left Diaz unable to continue, the outlets reported. talkSPORT described the bout as a "bloody war" stopped early due to "nasty cuts," while MMA Mania characterised Perry as having "destroyed" Diaz's face over the course of the fight.
Perry, a former UFC welterweight contender, called out Jake Paul in the immediate aftermath, according to Yahoo Sports, signalling a potential future bout with the YouTube-turned-boxer.
The Rousey vs. Carano event was billed as one of the year's largest combat-sports cards, headlined by the returning Ronda Rousey against former UFC fighter Gina Carano, and distributed globally on Netflix.
Multiple independent outlets corroborated the Perry-Diaz result; Source Reporters treats the stoppage victory as verified.
