What is the story about?
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 Mike Bohn, Jero Guerra and Danny Segura will join host "Gorgeous" George Garcia live at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT) to discuss and debate the following topics:
- Tom Nolan won his first UFC headliner but not without controversy. The Australian lightweight picked up a big win after putting away former title challenger Renato Moicano with ground-and-pound. Despite looking good, much of the talk around Nolan's win was the highly criticized decision from referee Dan Miragliotta to stand up both fighters in Round 2 while Moicano had Nolan's back with a body triangle. How much did Miragliotta's call affect the fight? Did it taint Nolan's win? We discuss.
- Two massive names were in the headlines this past week – Conor McGregor and Jake Paul. McGregor promised to break all kinds of records for what will be his "final fight," and Paul booked himself a boxing fight under MVP against Cedric Doumbe on Dec. 24. We react to the latest involving these two combat sports stars.
- We finish the show with a look ahead at UFC Vegas 124. This event is being headlined by a heavyweight bout between Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Johnny Walker. Who will come out on top? We share our analysis and predictions on the bout.
