Video: What does winning ‘BMF’ title mean for Justin Gaethje’s career?

Justin Gaethje won the “BMF” title in the UFC 291 main event Saturday with a stunning head-kick knockout of fellow former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier.

It was an incredible finish that captured the attention of the combat sports world, chief among them Conor McGregor, who implied that he’d skip the Michael Chandler fight he’s supposed to have for one with Gaethje. Would that be a good fight for Gaethje to take on?

What does winning the “BMF” title mean for “The Highlight,” who continuously proves he’s the embodiment of his nickname in the cage? Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Danny Segura, Farah Hannoun and Brian “Goze” Garcia discuss with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.

You can watch their segment in the video above and check out the full episode below.
