Spinning Back Clique LIVE (noon ET): UFC 314 fallout for Volkanovski and Pimblett, plus GFL's debacle and 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 Farah Hannoun, Brian 'Goze' Garcia and Danny Segura will join host 'Gorgeous' George Garcia live at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) to discuss and debate the following topics: UFC 314 saw the vacant featherweight belt go to Alexander Volkanovski when he beat Diego Lopes. Also, UFC star Paddy Pimblett took a giant leap in his career when he destroyed former Bellator champion Michael Chandler in the co-main event. We look back at those bouts, plus many other key fights on the card. The fallout of fighters leaving the PFL, particularly ones who came over from Bellator, continues. The latest is Aaron Pico, who has signed with the UFC. We talk about his potential there in the featherweight division. She retired, but we know how that goes in MMA. Former UFC two-division champion Amanda Nunes told MMA Junkie she's fully prepared to return to fight the winner of Julianna Peña vs. Kayla Harrison. She's also going into the UFC Hall of Fame this summer. But should she come back? If it ever was fair to call something a dumpster fire, now might be the time. The Global Fight League made giant promises, 'signed' giant names and made a big fuss over fighter revenue splits and a 'live' draft. Then it canceled both its shows in Los Angeles next month because it can't pay the bills. 'Spinning Back Clique' is released each Monday LIVE on MMA Junkie's YouTube channel at noon ET. You can also find each episode on your favorite podcast platforms – including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and more – on Tuesday mornings. Be sure to visit the MMA Junkie Instagram page and YouTube channel to discuss this and more content with fans of mixed martial arts.
