Welcome to “Spinning Back Clique,” MMA Junkie’s weekly show that takes a spin through the biggest topics in mixed martial arts. And this week, Simon Head hosts as MMA Junkie’s John Morgan and MMA Junkie Radio’s “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” talk shop.
SHOW TOPICS
- Cynthia Calvillo made a statement this past weekend at UFC on ESPN 10, defeating No. 1 contender Jessica Eye in her women’s flyweight debut, which puts her in line for a potential title shot already. That got us thinking: Who else could benefit most from moving up a weight class?
- Do big things come in smaller packages? What we mean by that is, with all the finishes happening across three fight cards held inside the smaller octagon at the UFC Apex, is the size of the cage making all the difference?
- Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has two fights left on his contract, and UFC president Dana White admits he’s not sure who “The Spider” will fight to close out his legendary career. Well, we’ve got some ideas.
- UFC on ESPN 11 takes place this Saturday, with Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov headlining. But as we look ahead, we share one fight on the rest of the card you should be paying close attention to.
For answers to all of those questions, watch Episode 33 of “Spinning Back Clique” above.
