As of now, neither Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) nor Netflix has officially announced the cancellation. It is unknown if Jackson will get a new opponent.

Larkin (27-8) hasn’t competed in MMA since 2024, though he stayed active last year with a pair of bouts in Karate Combat — including a knockout loss in his most recent outing.

Prior to that, however, “Monsoon” was on a tear.

Between 2022 and 2024, Larkin went on a vviolent run across Bellator (with a brief stop in PFL), scoring four first-round knockouts — including a devastating finish of Mukhamed Berkhamov at Bellator 290 that landed on multiple “Knockout of the Year” lists (watch highlights).

The 39-year-old owns 15 career knockout wins and remains one of the most dangerous strikers in the sport — making his withdrawal a tough loss for the undercard.

With Larkin out, here’s how the MVP MMA 1 lineup currently stands:
