Welcome to “Spinning Back Clique,” MMA Junkie’s weekly show that takes a spin through the biggest topics in mixed martial arts. This week, Simon Head hosts and is joined by MMA Junkie lead staff reporter John Morgan, as well as MMA Junkie Radio’s “Gorgeous” George and “Goze.” SHOW TOPICS Despite a huge experience advantage, Derek Brunson was a big betting underdog at this past weekend’s UFC on ESPN+ 31 event. Still, the middleweight scored a big stoppage win over a previously undefeated Edmen Shahbazyan . So for those that got it wrong, were we too quick to write off Brunson, or was Shabazyan’s hype not justified? Dana White’s Contender Series is back on Tuesday, but it comes at a time when the entire sport is returning to live action.
