Check out this week’s “Spinning Back Clique,” MMA Junkie’s weekly live show that takes a spin through the biggest topics in mixed martial arts. This week’s panel of Farah Hannoun, Brian “Goze” Garcia and Mike Bohn will join host “Gorgeous” George Garcia live at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) to discuss and debate:
- Alexander Volkanovski’s dominant third-round TKO title defense over Yair Rodriguez in the UFC 290 main event and whether he should fight Ilia Topuria at featherweight or Islam Makhachev at lightweight next.
- Alexandre Pantoja claiming the flyweight title from Brandon Moreno by split decision in a Fight of the Year contender at UFC 290 and what should be next for the new champ at 125 pounds.
- Dricus Du Plessis’ massive second-round TKO upset of Robert Whittaker in the UFC 290 featured bout and subsequent faceoff with Israel Adesanya, which got heated and was filled by racial slurs from the current middleweight champion leading into a potential title grudge match at UFC 293 in Sydney on Sept. 9.
- The UFC 295 main event announcement between heavyweight champion Jon Jones and former titleholder Stipe Miocic on Nov. 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
- Robbie Lawler’s fairytale career ending at UFC 290, which saw the former welterweight champion knock out Niko Price in just 38 seconds before he retired from MMA.
“Spinning Back Clique” is released each Monday LIVE on MMA Junkie’s YouTube channel. You can watch this week’s episode in the video above.
