Welcome to “Spinning Back Clique,” MMA Junkie’s weekly show that takes a spin through the biggest topics in mixed martial arts. And this, we’re LIVE today at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) with “Gorgeous” George, “Goze, Danny Segura, and host Simon Head to talk about the biggest headlines in the sport.

SHOW TOPICS

  • For the third time in four years, Conor McGregor again has announced his retirement. Buy or sell?
  • With Mcgregor and Henry Cejudo’s retirements, combined with Jon Jones’ and Jorge Masvidal’s public feuds with Dana White over money, what do we make of the general fighter unrest going on right now in the UFC.
  • Amanda Nunes is clearly the GOAT of women’s MMA and one of the greatest fighters of all time – period. Now that she’s all but wiped out two divisions after her dominant UFC 250 performance against Felicia Spencer, where does she go from here?
  • UFC 250 was a pivotal event for the bantamweight division, with Aljamain Sterling, Cody Garbrandt and Sean O’Malley all scoring big wins, and doing so in impressive fashion. We sort out what should be next for each man.
  • Speaking of, both Garbrandt and O’Mally each had spectacular one-punch, walk-off knockouts over Raphael Assuncao and Eddie Wineland, respectively. Which one was more impressive?
  • We also take a look ahead at UFC on ESPN 10 this weekend, which features Jessica Eye vs. Cynthia Calvillo in the main event. The card overall has taken some heat from fans calling it lackluster, but we’ll let you know what to watch for.

For answers to all of those questions, watch Episode 32 of “Spinning Back Clique” above.
