Salahdine Parnasse vs. Kenneth Cross MVP MMA live blog
This is the Salahdine Parnasse vs. Kenneth Cross live blog for the main card lightweight bout at MVP MMA: Rousey vs. Carano on Saturday at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
Parnasse (22-2) has been one of the best fighters on the KSW roster, winning titles at both lightweight and featherweight and even challenging for the Polish promotion’s welterweight title. He has won four straight fights by knockout, including multiple defenses of his 155-pound championship, and the Frenchman now looks to show why he’s worth all the hype as he makes his United States debut.
This is a big opportunity for Cross (17-4), who enters this contest on a four-fight win streak. “The Boss” is perhaps best known for his win over Kevin Syler on Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2020 that unfortunately did not result in Cross earning a UFC contract. He looks to shock the millions watching on Netflix as the biggest underdog on the card by a wide margin.

Preamble
If you’ve watched Parnasse, you know he’s for real and the UFC probably should have paid this man to fight ages ago. But that doesn’t matter, he’s here now with a chance to put on a star-making performance.
