Spinning Back Clique: Weighing risk vs. reward, is Jon Jones playing his cards correctly?

Check out the latest edition of “Spinning Back Clique,” MMA Junkie’s weekly show that takes a quick spin through the biggest topics in mixed martial arts.

This week, our panel weighs in on Francis Ngannou as UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones’ recent Twitter tactics, and who would win in a head-to-head matchup. Host Simon Head is joined by panelists “Gorgeous” George Garcia of MMA Junkie Radio, as well as MMA Junkie’s John Morgan and Farah Hannoun. Let’s get into it!

• Is Francis Ngannou is now the most important champion in the UFC? What does having Ngannou as champion mean for the UFC moving forward?
• Jon Jones’ reaction to Ngannou’s win was to tweet, then delete, a host of messages. One tweet he kept live was one that stated simply, “Show me the money.” Is Jones playing this the right way, and is he in danger of losing the fight?
• Ngannou vs. Jones: Give us your way-too-early prediction!
• After he lost to Vicente Luque, Dana White appeared to hint that Woodley’s time in the UFC could be coming to an end. If you were advising Woodley, what would you suggest “The Chosen One” chooses for his next step?
• With Miesha Tate announcing her comeback, give us the one name that would get you seriously excited if they announced their return to the octagon in 2021.
