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 noon ET (9 a.m. PT) to discuss and debate the following topics:
• Carlos Prates spoiled Jack Della Maddalena's homecoming. The Brazilian striker stopped Della Maddalena on his home turf, beating him by TKO in the main event of UFC Perth in Australia. What's next for Prates? Did he do enough to get himself a title shot? We discuss Prates' big win, as well as other highlights from the card down under.
• Unlike the UFC event, Logan Storley got a big win in front of his home crowd in South Dakota in the main event of PFL Sioux Falls. We break down Storley's win, plus weigh-in on an overall feel of PFL in 2026.
• WMMA GOAT Amanda Nunes caught up with MMA Junkie in an exclusive interview at Gamebred bareknuckle MMA in Miami. Nunes, who hasn't done many interviews, discussed her ideal timeline for her title fight against Kayla Harrison, what her long term plans are in her return to MMA, and much more. We react to Nunes' comments, and review some of the bigger fight bookings this past week, including Paddy Pimblett vs. Benoit Saint-Denis for UFC 329.
• Lastly, we preview Saturday's UFC 328. It's a big card that features a heated championship fight between bitter rivals Khamzat Chimaev and Sean Strickland. Has this rivalry gone too far? Who will leave with the UFC middleweight title? We preview the highly-anticipated title fight, along with its co-main event – a flyweight championship fight between Josua Van and Tatsuro Taira.
