Spinning Back Clique REPLAY: The state of PFL, Dakota Ditcheva’s potential, UFC 310 preview, more

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 Mike Bohn, Matthew Wells and Brian “Goze” Garcia will join host “Gorgeous” George Garcia live at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) to discuss and debate the following topics:

  • The 2024 PFL Championship event took place in Riyadh, Saudia Arabia, and the event produced a number of highlight moments. Did the event exceed or fall short of expectations? What’s Brendan Loughnane’s future after coming up short against Timur Khizriev? The panel discusses the results and fallout from the event.
  • Dakota Ditcheva picked up the biggest win of her career in a stellar PFL women’s flyweight championship performance against former UFC title challenger Taila Santos. Was this her star-making moment? Where does she rank among the best female 125-pounders?
  • What is the current overall state of the PFL? Is the promotion underperforming or overperforming after the first year since acquiring the Bellator brand? Is the PFL truly a co-leader in the MMA space? What changes would you like to see in 2025?
  • The final UFC pay-per-view of 2024 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. UFC 310 is headlined by a men’s flyweight title fight between champ Alexandre Pantoja and debuting challenger Kai Asakura. What’s the buzz for this card? How does it grade on paper? The panel discusses the matchups and storylines.
