[ASFN Admin]

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:

• We kick things off with a recap of Saturday's UFC 327. In the main event, Carlos Ulberg captured the vacant UFC light heavyweight title with a knockout of Jiri Prochazka. It was a wild victory, as Ulberg had injured his leg badly, and looked to be heading to a defeat. Did Prochazka let his guard down? What's next for Ulberg? We discuss all things UFC 327, including other key results such as Paulo Costa's TKO win, Josh Hokit's wild Fight of the Year contender, and more.
• We catch up with the latest on PFL, including their latest event, PFL Chicago, which saw former Bellator champion Sergio Pettis suffer a defeat to Mitchell McKee. We also look ahead at PFL Belfast, which goes down on Thursday with a headliner between Darragh Kelly and Jay Jay Wilson.
• A lot went down in the MMA world this past week. Olympic gold medalist in wrestling Gable Steveson finally signed with the UFC and is expected to debut this summer on International Fight Week. That was just one of the several big roster movements and bookings in the combat sports world. We recap the biggest news of the week.
• Lastly, we close out the show with a look ahead at UFC Winnipeg. This card, which goes down on Saturday night, features a welterweight matchup between Mike Mallot and Gilbert Burns in the main event. Who will come out on top? How does a result here affect the welterweight division? We discuss.
