Usman Nurmagomedov defends title, Conor McGregor's career update, GFL draft | Spinning Back Clique

[@mikebohnmma]

Great show! Thanks everyone for watching. Fun topics on this one.

[@josephboza7448]

For a slow off week in the UFC, you guys did have fun topic. Created for a fun discussion with the panel and the chat room as always.

[@GreenBandana-p5b]

Definitely one of the best weekly MMA news updates. I'd love to see Spinning Back Clique more than once a week. By the way, what's coming up for the Bohnfire?

[@MMAJunkieGeorge]

Twice a week would be great, I agree.

Big up to khabib n team for learning how to build fights and get the world interested all eyes on the team to see them win or lose

[@MMAJunkieGeorge]

Great team. Hard workers. Very dedicated to building / continuing the team legacy.

[@saynotofeminism]

Usman Nurmagomedov needs to work on his wrestling if he wants to be dominant like Khabib and Islam

[@tupacsgohst]

he lost that fight and it looks like striking is a weak point for khabibs camp and if they cant get a takedown they get beat badly on there feet.

[@MMAJunkieGeorge]

Usman and Umar are more striker oriented, however, they have picked up the wrestling and definitely improved.

@@tupacsgohstnot a single judge or media judge scored it against usman bro. Get out of here with your biased crap

[@A1v5p9]

Usman vs Huges rematch or Usman versus Pinedo if he goes up to lightweight (I think he should) Nemkov vs Ngannou or Baider rematch if Francis is not available on timing Goltsov vs Fereira rematch Yagshimuradov vs Anderson rematch Eblen vs Tokov or Kasanganay rematch (provably not happen but anyway) Musaev vs Kuramagomedov And Khizriev vs Loughnane/Braga/Pinedo That's main events of PFL Champions Series thats want to see in the 2025 Great show btw!

Gfl better not book shogun or Marlon moraes to fight smh

[@Dhjeoeosowisosisff]

Paul Hughes won that fight

[@josephboza7448]

Usman was lucky. He made history on Saturday. Broke the record at Lightweight for most defenses of the Bellator Bantamweight Championship with 3 defenses. Fun nugget we learned from Mike that Usman had 4 fights left. I think Team Khabib doesnt want the rematch with Paul for sure. This was the 2nd time in his career Usman needed the judges. He did vs Brent Hughes was overturned later on cause of drug violation. The thing is we dont know when PFl will be back with champion series 2 or their next show in general. Marketing is bad for them. Unless you guys or the mma media doesnt remind us PFL is on, I dont think most of them I know they are on. To be fair, 9x out of 10, if a championship fight goes to the cards they will usually give it to the champion cause in order to be the champion you have to finish or KO the champ.

[@tupacsgohst]

he's a cheater and medoicre fighter who needs to learn how to strike.

[@MMAJunkieGeorge]

I want to see more of these types of matchups, now that we have both Bellator and PFL rosters to build cards from. I'm done with the regular season / playoffs format, TBH.

[@MMAJunkieGeorge]

@@tupacsgohst Mediocre? A bit much, no?

[@josephboza7448]

@@MMAJunkieGeorge me2. I was impressed with how much I enjoyed it. Too bad we dont know when Champions Series 2 is.

[@bobjones3054]

Alvarez is a punching bag now. Retire!

[@MMAJunkieGeorge]

That broken jaw might've sealed the end of his career, but we'll see. Dude is tough as nails.

[@tupacsgohst]

Usman lost that fight and it looks like striking is a weak point for khabibs camp and if they cant get a takedown they get beat badly on there feet...2 weeks in a row. if that guys last name was different he would not have gotten the fake decision.

[@MMAJunkieGeorge]

His striking is good. Hughes is just tough. Umar got done in by Dvalishvili's cardio and pace.
