Jon Jones #JonJones
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, Farah Hannoun and Dan Tom will join host “Gorgeous” George Garcia live at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) to discuss and debate:
Reaction to Jon Jones‘ vacant heavyweight title win over Ciryl Gane in the UFC 285 main event, previewing his expected first title defense against Stipe Miocic and how many more times we expect to see “Bones” fight before retirement. Will UFC president Dana White stick true to his word that former heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou will “never” fight in the UFC again? Reaction to Alexa Grasso‘s upset of Valentina Shevchenko to claim the women’s flyweight title in the UFC 285 co-headliner. Can she repeat the feat in a rematch or will Shevchenko show her loss was nothing but a mere stumble. What’s the future of the women’s flyweight division with names like Erin Blanchfield, Manon Fiorot, Taila Santos and more on the rise and keen to challenge for the belt after Grasso and Shevchenko have their expected rematch? Who else had breakout or memorable performances on a loaded and thrilling night of fights at UFC 285?
“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.
