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, John Morgan, “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” react to the latest news, notes and fight bookings, as well as look ahead to UFC on ESPN 7 this weekend.

Show rundown:

• Finally, we can discuss Conor McGregor news that has to do with cagefighting, as the former two-division UFC champion was booked to headline UFC 246 against Donald Cerrone. But the Jan. 18 fight isn’t taking place at lightweight; it’s taking place at welterweight. So, what exactly is at stake here?
• It’s happening. … We think. … We hope. For the fifth time, Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson has been booked. The 155-pound title fight is set for what should be UFC 249 on April 18 in New York. Will the fifth time be the charm in us finally seeing this fight, and what can we expect from this point on?
• Whether it’s MMA or grappling, former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold just seems off. He was cut early before losing a decision to Nick Rodriguez last week at Polaris 12. Combine that with two devastating knockout losses in his last two MMA fights, as well recent comments that his heart isn’t into fighting anymore, and you’ve got to wonder: Where does he go from here with his combat sports career?
• UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz, who meets ex-WWE superstar Alberto El Patron this weekend in Combate Americas, got mad at MMA Junkie last week, calling us “click bait” for writing a story highlighting his comments about current UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones. “I think I can beat Jon Jones,” Ortiz said. “I think I have a good chance – I really do think I’ve got a good chance.” His words, not ours. So when you hear that, what’s your take on it?
• UFC on ESPN 7 this Saturday features Alistair Overeem vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik in a heavyweight main event. And in the co-headliner, Cynthia Calvillo fights Marina Rodriguez at strawweight. Of those four fighters, who has the most to gain with an impressive victory?
