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 fills handles hosting duties while John Morgan joins MMA Junkie Radio’s “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” to break down the latest headlines. Let’s go!
- Conor McGregor has sparked plenty of discussion with his take on MMA’s GOAT debate, putting himself at No. 2, if not No. 1. So what is it that truly gives a fighter a reason to be called the Greatest of All-Time? And with that criteria in mind, who deserves the label?
- Speaking of McGregor, it appears he’s looking to fight, and he’s always got options on the table. Who would you most like to see him face next?
- The UFC’s lightweight division has plenty of big fights lined up over the next few months. So where does Tony Ferguson fit into those plans? With “El Cucuy” looking to rebound from his interim-title loss to Justin Gaethje, what is Ferguson’s next move?
- The UFC sets up shop in Las Vegas this week, assuming all goes well with the Nevada Athletic Commission. Tyron Woodley and Gilbert Burns headline, but what’s at stake? Could the winner fight for a title next?
- Speaking of that UFC on ESPN 9 lineup, outside of the main event, what’s the one fight you’re focusing on in the card filled with prospects?
For answers to all of those questions, watch Episode 28 of “Spinning Back Clique” above.
