Spinning Back Clique LIVE (noon ET): Conor McGregor's sexual assault trial, UFC Macau fallout, 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, Mike Bohn and Danny Segura will join host “Gorgeous” George Garcia live at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) to discuss and debate the following topics:
- Former bantamweight champion Petr Yan looked as good as ever when he outworked ex-flyweight titleholder Deiveson Figueiredo on Saturday in the UFC Fight Night 248 main event in Macau. We’ll look at the up-next possibilities for each, including some potential for Yan to get back in the title picture.
- Former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor hasn’t fought in nearly four years. Just when he’ll actually return is up in the air even more after he was found liable for a 2018 sexual assault in Ireland. He appealed the jury’s decision. Should the UFC penalize him, as unlikely as that seems? We’ll discuss the bad situation.
- Bellator fighters are out en masse letting people know they’re being essentially frozen out by the promotion. What’s going on there?
- The 2024 PFL $1 million winners will be finalized Friday this week. We’ll preview the matchups.
