Video: Which welterweights can disrupt the title picture at UFC 296?

UFC 296 is headlined by a welterweight title bout between champ Leon Edwards and former interim champ Colby Covington.

Elsewhere on the final pay-per-view card of the year are two other massive welterweight fights, with each competitor looking to find their way into a title fight soon. Former title challenger Stephen Thompson takes on the rapidly rising Shavkat Rakhmonov, and the polarizing Ian Machado Garry takes on Kill Cliff FC teammate Vicente Luque.

Belal Muhammad, the current No. 1 contender, will also appear this weekend, at least on the scale for official weigh-ins. Muhamamad is the backup for the main event, should something go wrong during fight week.

Considering Muhammad is unlikely to compete since the services of a backup have never been needed in the UFC thus far, could one of the other welterweights create a moment to shake up the title picture?

Our “Spinning Back Clique” panelists Farah Hannoun, Brian “Goze” Garcia and Dan Tom discuss the tight welterweight race with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.
