Spinning Back Clique: Jose Aldo’s legacy, Aspen Ladd’s UFC future, Paul vs. Silva heats up

Check out this week’s “Spinning Back Clique,” MMA Junkie’s weekly show that takes a spin through the biggest topics in mixed martial arts.

Our panel of Brian “Goze” Garcia, Mike Bohn and Danny Segura discuss five topics with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.

  • Jose Aldo informed UFC of his retirement, bringing an end to one of the all-time great MMA career. We reflect on Aldo’s legacy and whether he currently stands as the featherweight GOAT.
  • Promotion for the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva boxing match is well underway after the pair got face-to-face at a pair of press conference. How have they done selling the fight and is this a must-watch event on Oct. 29?
  • Aspen Ladd missed weight for the third time in her UFC career at UFC Fight Night 210, resulting in her fight with Sara McMann being canceled. Should UFC part ways with her?
  • UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre opened up about two fights that got away from him in his career against Anderson Silva and Khabib Nurmagomedov. How would he have done if both of those bouts came to fruition?
  • Lightweight fan-favorite Terrence McKinney has some concerns over the new footwear in the UFC, and he expressed them directly to “The Rock” over social media. We go in-depth on the sentiment behind his message and how it ties into UFC fighter pay.

“Spinning Back Clique” is released each Tuesday on MMA Junkie’s YouTube channel. You can watch the full episode in the video above.
