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 very first episode, John Morgan, Gorgeous George and Goze cover all things UFC 244.
Show rundown:
- Given that Jorge Masvidal defeated Nate Diaz because of a doctor’s stoppage, does that mean we need an immediate rematch? Or do other matchups make more sense for each man first?
- UFC 244 had it all: President Donald Trump in the building, The Rock presenting the “BMF” belt, Roberto Duran walking Masvidal to the cage. Did the UFC jump the shark, or should the promotion be open to doing more events like this?
- Corey Anderson put a stop to the Johnny Walker hype train with an emphatic finish to make his case as the next challenger for UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. But there’s also undefeated Dominick Reyes to consider. Did Anderson do enough to make him the next man up?
- As for Walker, could this loss end up being a blessing in disguise for a young fighter who might’ve been getting ahead of himself?
- UFC 244 featured a trio of impressive rebound victories for Kevin Lee, Stephen Thompson and Darren Till. Which performance was most impressive?
For answers to all of those questions, watch Episode 1 of “Spinning Back Clique” in the video above.
