Spinning Back Clique: UFC 280 preview, Alexa Grasso’s big win, possible Jon Jones return, more
Check out this week’s “Spinning Back Clique,” MMA Junkie’s weekly live show that takes a spin through the biggest topics in mixed martial arts. This week’s panel of Brian “Goze” Garcia, Nolan King and Matthew Wells will join host “Gorgeous” George Garcia at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) to discuss and debate:
- This Saturday’s top three fights at UFC 280 – Charles Oliveira vs. Islam Makhachev, Aljamain Sterling vs. T.J. Dillashaw, and Petr Yan vs. Sean O’Malley – are intriguing for different reasons. But which one is the most intriguing?
- Former UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo has suggested that featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski is making a mistake by serving as the backup to the Oliveira-Makhachev lightweight title fight at UFC 280. Does he have a point?
- After her impressive win over Viviane Araujo in her first UFC main event at UFC Fight Night 212, should Alexa Grasso be next to challenge women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko?
- After missing weight yet again at UFC Fight Night 212, should flyweight contender Askar Askarov forfeit his standing in the division and move up to bantamweight?
- There’s talk of a potential Jon Jones return in December at UFC 282, and the top candidate to face him in his heavyweight debut is former champion Stipe Miocic. Are you taking this seriously?
“Spinning Back Clique” is released each Monday LIVE on MMA Junkie’s YouTube channel. You can watch this week’s episode in the video above.
