Between the UFC and Bellator events this past weekend, three great performances in headlines and title fights occurred.
For the first time at Bellator 297 on Friday, Vadim Nemkov dominated Yoel Romero to successfully defend his light heavyweight title with a three-point unanimous decision of 49-46 in the main event. And in the joint championships, bantamweight champion Sergio Pettis returned from a lengthy injury layoff to deny Patricio Freire’s bid to become a triple champion with a lopsided unanimous decision that included two 50-45 sweeps from the judges.
Then at UFC on ESPN 46 on Saturday, Jared Cannonier made a powerful statement as he set a middleweight record while pummeling Marvin Vettori to win a unanimous decision.
With that being said, we ask: Who starred last weekend?
The “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Brian “Goze” Garcia, Nolan King, and Mike Bohn discussed development with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia. You can watch the conversation in the video above. And don’t miss this week’s full episode below.
