Video: After her UFC on ESPN 60 win, is Virna Jandiroba next up for strawweight title shot?

Virna Jandiroba could very well be the next challenger for Zhang Weili’s UFC strawweight title.

In the main event of UFC on ESPN 60 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Jandiroba submitted Amanda Lemos in the second round after a slick transition into an armbar.

Jandiroba has now won four straight in the strawweight division, is high in the promotional rankings, and appears ready for a shot at Weili after beating a former title challenger.

Has Jandiroba done enough for a title shot? Will she pass over Tatiana Suarez? Should Jandiroba take another fight or wait for her shot?

That’s what our “Spinning Back Clique” of Farah Hannoun, Brian “Goze” Garcia and Matthew Wells discussed along with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia. Check out their conversation in the video above, and be sure to watch this week’s full episode below.
