Spinning Back Clique: How will Francis Ngannou’s UFC contract dispute play out?
Check out this week’s “Spinning Back Clique,” MMA Junkie’s weekly show that takes a spin through the biggest topics in mixed martial arts.
Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Matthew Wells, Nolan King, and “Gorgeous” George Garcia discuss five topics with host John Morgan.
- UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and company brass certainly do not seem to be on the same page about his future with the promotion, so after UFC 270, how do you see this situation playing out? Is there a best-case scenario?
- Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno have already given us one of the best trilogies in UFC history. But with the series tied at 1-1-1, is a fourth needed right away?
- In addition to two title fights, UFC 270 also featured an incredible eight octagon newcomers. Make your way-too-early prediction and tell us which one of them is going to be a future UFC champion.
- Bellator 273 is this weekend, and longtime veterans Ryan Bader and Benson Henderson are both underdogs against very stiff competition. Which of them is more in need of a victory on Saturday night?
- While there’s no UFC this weekend, Bellator, ONE Championship, Eagle FC and CFFC are all hosting events, so which fight are you looking forward to most from these events?
“Spinning Back Clique” is released each Tuesday on MMA Junkie’s YouTube channel. You can watch the full episode in the video above.
