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, Dan Tom 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 on ESPN 65 was host of a big win at 145 pounds. In the main event, Lerone Murphy defeated Josh Emmett in a unanimous decision. We discuss Murphy's big win, where he goes next, plus other key bouts from the Las Vegas card.
  • The PFL hosted its first event of the season in Olando, Fla. We review and dissect 2025 PFL World Tournament 1, and the new changes the promotion implemented starting this year. We also discuss the results from the card, including Jason Jackson's nasty submission win over Andrey Koreshkov
  • There were some big fight bookings announced this past week. For starters, UFC CEO Dana White announced the two title fights that will be headlining UFC 316 – Merab Dvalishvili vs. Sean O'Malley 2, and Julianna Peña vs. Kayla Harrison. Additionally, Ian Machado Garry returns to fight Carlos Prates, and flyweight contenders Manel Kape and Brandon Royval ink another contract to fight each other. We break down and give early predictions for these big bookings.
  • Lastly, we end the show with a preview for Saturday's UFC 314. This stacked pay-per-view, which goes down in Miami, hosts a title fight for the vacant featherweight belt between Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes. Also, UFC star Paddy Pimblett takes a giant step in his career when he faces former Bellator champion Michael Chandler in the co-main event. We preview these bouts, plus many other key fights on the card.
