Check out this week’s “Spinning Back Clique,” MMA Junkie’s weekly live show that takes a spin through the biggest topics in mixed martial arts.
This week’s panel of Brian “Goze” Garcia, Mike Bohn and Danny Segura will join host “Gorgeous” George Garcia live at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) to discuss and debate the following topics:
- Manel Kape picked up a big win Saturday, and he thinks he’s done enough to get a shot at the UFC flyweight title. Kape stopped Asu Almabayev in the main event of UFC Fight Night 253, putting him on a two-fight winning streak and 6-1 in his past seven. Should Kape get the next shot at champion Alexandre Pantoja? Does the division need him as champion? We discuss Kape’s win, along with other highlights from the card.
- Last week saw some bookings that could have big impact in their divisions. Jose Aldo vs. Aiemann Zahabi, Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva, Marlon Vera vs. Mario Bautista, plus the announcement of the PFL 2025 lightweight and middleweight tournament participants were some of the announcements that went down. We analyze and react to these matchups.
- This week, the UFC returns with a big pay-per-view – UFC 313. This card is headlined by a light heavyweight championship fight between Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev. This event also features a rematch between ex-BMF champion Justin Gaethje against Rafael Fiziev. We preview these bouts along with others from the card.
- You’ve got questions? Well, we’ve got answers. To finish off the show, we’ll be doing a live Q&A segment in which we’ll discuss the latest in the MMA world. Submit your question in the YouTube live chat during the stream, and we’ll answer the best submissions.
