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 Matthew Wells, Mike Bohn and Nolan King will join host “Gorgeous” George Garcia live at a special start time of 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) to discuss and debate the following topics:
- UFC on ESPN 62 went down Saturday in Las Vegas and saw [autotag]Caio Borralho[/autotag] get his breakthrough win at middleweight against Jared Cannonier in the main event. Is Borralho poised to be a title contender? The panel will speculate and discuss the other notable results from the final UFC event of August.
- [autotag]Tom Aspinall[/autotag] has seemingly had enough of being jerked around in the heavyweight division, and he’s gone all-out in pursuit of a title unification bout with [autotag]Jon Jones[/autotag] in the form of videos, social media posts and even stirring injury rumors about Stipe Miocic. But will any of it matter?
- The promotion is underway for [autotag]Francis Ngannou[/autotag]’s return to MMA competition against [autotag]Renan Ferreira[/autotag] at PFL’s pay-per-view event on Oct. 19. The pair faced off for the first time and had a press conference where a comment by Ferreira that was seemingly misinterpreted became a hot topic of discussion.
- UFC champions Ilia Topuria and Belal Muhammad, as well as former two-division titleholder Henry Cejudo, gave notable interviews to MMA Junkie over the past week where they gave insight into their respective future plans.
- Noche UFC is drawing near: [autotag]Dana White[/autotag] was not happy with [autotag]Merab Dvalishvili[/autotag] posting footage of a cut he suffered in training less than three weeks from the event, and Sean O’Malley has voiced some frustration over the way in which the card is being promoted.
