Spinning Back Clique: Paddy Pimblett’s rise, Chimaev vs. Diaz, stacked UFC 280, more
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 panel of Nolan King, Brian “Goze” Garcia and Mike Bohn discuss five topics with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.
- Paddy Pimblettstole the show this past weekend at UFC Fight Night 208 in London. Afterwards, he stated that he’s now too big for The O2 and will be a PPV fighter. Is that the right call?
- Michael Chandler is teasing a potential fight vs. Dustin Poirier. Should the UFC book this high-profile lightweight or is Chandler vs. Conor McGregor the right play?
- Nate Diaz vs. Khamzat Chimaev is set for UFC 279 on Sept. 10. Was this the right fight to make for Diaz’s final bout on his current UFC contract?
- UFC 280 is shaping up to be the deepest event of the year with two title fights and a number of high-profile contender bouts. Which fight is catching everyone’s eye the most?
- How much pressure is on Amanda Nunes going into Saturday’s UFC 277 rematch with women’s bantamweight champion Julianna Pena?
