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, Nolan King and Danny Segura will join host “Gorgeous” George Garcia live at 11 a.m ET (8 a.m. PT) to discuss and debate the following topics:

  • Charles Oliveira continues his unbeaten streak in Brazil. After submitting Mateusz Gamrot in the main event of UFC Fight Night 261 in Rio de Janeiro, Oliveira climbed to 18-0 on home soil, and bounced back from his KO loss to Ilia Topuria in June. We discuss Oliveira’s big win and what may come next for his career, along with other key results from the card, including Deiveson Figueiredo and Joel Alvarez’s decision wins.
  • Conor McGregor was suspended by the UFC’s drug testing program Combat Sports Anti-Doping after failing to discuss his whereabouts three times in 2024. The suspension, which is 18 months long, will keep McGregor unable to compete until March 2026. What can we make about this suspension? How does this impact McGregor? We react.
  • Each panelist will highlight a news story from the past week to further discuss with the rest of the panel. There’s always something going on in the world of MMA.
  • We close out the show with a preview for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 262 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In the main event, top title contender Reinier de Ridder takes on Brendan Allen in hopes to get himself a shot at UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev. How attainable is a championship fight for RDR? We break down and analyze de Ridder vs. Allen, along with other marquee matchups on the card.
