Welcome to “Spinning Back Clique,” MMA Junkie’s weekly show that takes a spin through the biggest topics in mixed martial arts. In this week’s episode, Simon Head hosts as MMA Junkie Radio’s “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” answer five rounds of questions.
SHOW RUNDOWN:
- As promised, the UFC has stuck to its guns about a May 9 return to action and UFC 249 is on deck. For MMA fans, the return of live sport is undoubtedly exciting, but the COVID-19 pandemic still rages on. Will the fighting experience prove enjoyable?
- As the UFC schedule has unfolded, much of the discussion has centered around the main event, but there’s a title fight in the co-main event, as well. If [autotag]Henry Cejudo[/autotag] is able to beat [autotag]Dominick Cruz[/autotag], it seems he’s still hoping to face [autotag]Jose Aldo[/autotag], as well. What do you make of Cejudo’s legends tour?
- Speaking of legends, a 52-year-old [autotag]Pat Miletich[/autotag] is reportedly in talks to return to action with a kickboxing fight against former boxing champ Michael Nunn. We all need sports content in our lives right now, but is this a fight you’re excited to see?
- Bellator has yet to announce when it will return to live action, but in the meantime, the promotion has starting airing content on the CBS Sports Network. Is a move to network television next?
- With fighters struggling to train in traditional fashion, some are already looking to move up a weight class for their next fight. With that in mind, what’s the biggest fight you’d like to see that would involve a fighter moving up a division?
