The core claims regarding the Rousey vs. Carano event and the CSAC-disclosed salaries are confirmed by 9 sources, including reports from Netflix, Forbes, and MMA Junkie. While the caption's information about the $40,000 minimum pay and the top-tier purses is accurate, the visual graphic is riddled with typos, including an incorrect date, a 90% understatement of Francis Ngannou's pay, and the misidentification of a preliminary fighter.

Claims analyzed (4)
- verified: The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) officially published disclosed salaries for fighters on the Rousey vs. Carano card.
Official reports from May 17, 2026, confirm that the CSAC disclosed the purses for the MVP MMA 1 event held in Inglewood, California. - verified: No fighter on the Rousey vs. Carano card earned less than $40,000.
Multiple sources confirm that MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian set a $40,000 minimum for the card, which was verified by the CSAC's disclosed figures. - false: An event titled Fight Night 2 featuring Ngannou vs. Carni took place on Saturday, May 6.
The event was titled 'MVP MMA 1' (or 'Rousey vs. Carano'), took place on Saturday, May 16, 2026, and featured Francis Ngannou vs. Philipe Lins. 'Carni' is a typo and May 6 was a Wednesday. - mixed: Disclosed salaries included payouts of $2,200,000, $1,050,000, $500,000, $400,000, $150,000, and $100,000.
Rousey ($2.2M), Carano ($1.05M), Diaz ($500k), Perry ($400k), and Lins ($100k) are correct. However, Francis Ngannou's salary was $1,500,000, not $150,000.
