On the latest episode of “Spinning Back Clique,” the panel discusses the fallout of [autotag]Islam Makhachev[/autotag]’s latest title defense.
Makhachev defended his UFC lightweight title for a third time this past Saturday in the main event of UFC 302. He did so by submitting Dustin Poirier in a thrilling war. Makhachev’s win not only left a lot to talk about in the 155-pound division, but also in the sport as a whole, as many now view him as the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in MMA.
Is Makhachev the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter, or does that spot belong to [autotag]Jon Jones[/autotag], as UFC CEO Dana White suggested?
MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Nolan King, Mike Bohn and host Gorgeous George react to Makhachev’s win and how this affects the pound-for-pound conversation.
Watch their discussion in the video above, and don’t miss this week’s complete episode of “Spinning Back Clique” below on YouTube.
