Spinning Back Clique: Is Jon Jones vs. Israel Adesanya more than just a fantasy fight?

Welcome to “Spinning Back Clique,” MMA Junkie’s weekly show that takes a spin through the biggest topics in mixed martial arts. This week, “Gorgeous” George Garica hosts a panel that includes his MMA Junkie Radio co-host.”Goze” Garcia, as well as MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn and Dan Tom.

SHOW TOPICS

  • Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm painted a masterpiece on Saturday night at UFC on ESPN 16, and it came at the cost of rising Mexican star Irene Aldana. What is next for “The Preacher’s Daughter”?
  • UFC president Dana White said we were close to having Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor as the next coaches of “The Ultimate Fighter.” Nurmagomedov then decided against it after McGregor disclosed some private messages between himself and White. Should the UFC pursue that pairing again or move on to something else?
  • Jon Jones and Israel Adesanya have been brawling on social media, so much so that Dana White has said this is the “fight to make.” Do you guys agree with White and think this fight needs to come together now, or does this need to simmer a little longer?
  • Quietly on the prelims of UFC on ESPN 16, Carlos Condit got a win over Court McGee. Social media was buzzing as “The Natural Born Killer” pulled off the upset, at least according to the sports books. Some media wanted him to sail off into the sunset with the win, while others were lining him up vs. future opponents. What should he do next?

For answers to all of those questions, watch Episode 49 of “Spinning Back Clique” above.
