The MMA world gets a rare triple-dose of action this week with the three biggest U.S.-based promotions lined up to go back-to-back-to-back.
The PFL’s second playoff event of the 2021 season takes place Thursday in Florida. Bellator 265 takes place Friday in South Dakota. And UFC on ESPN 29 is set for Saturday in Las Vegas.
There are some heavy hitters atop each lineup, for sure. Kayla Harrison, arguably the PFL’s biggest star, will try to reach her second straight $1 million final when she meets Genah Fabian in the women’s lightweight semifinals. At Bellator 265, Cheick Kongo takes on Sergei Kharitonov in a key heavyweight bout. And for the UFC, Jared Cannonier meets Kelvin Gastelum in a big middleweight bout.
But with so much going on over three straight days, there have to be some fights that are falling under the radar. That’s what host John Morgan asked our panel on this week’s “Spinning Back Clique.” So what are we forgetting about, according to Brian “Goze” Garcia, Nolan King and Matthew Wells?
