Spinning Back Clique LIVE (noon ET): Dustin Poirier loses retirement bout vs. Max Holloway
This week's panel of Brian "Goze" Garcia, Farah Hannoun and Danny Segura will join host "Gorgeous" George Garcia live at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) to discuss and debate the following topics:
Max Holloway played spoiler in Dustin Poirier's goodbye from MMA competition. "Blessed" defeated "The Diamond" by unanimous decision this past Saturday in the main event of UFC 318. It was a fun, action-packed fight, which saw Holloway complete his first defense of the "Baddest Motherf*cker" title. Where does Holloway go from here? What did we think of Poirier's retirement, along with the UFC's efforts to make it special? We break down all things regarding the UFC 318 main event.
Outside the headlining bout, other key results unfolded at UFC 318. We saw Paulo Costa get back to his winning ways, outpointing Roman Kopylov. Additionally, veterans Patricio Freire and Michael Johnson outpointed their respective younger opposition, and Brendan Allen outslugged Marvin Vettori in a Fight of the Night, among other key results. We recap the results from UFC 318 outside the main event.
UFC wasn't the only promotion in business this past Saturday. PFL hosted PFL Cape Town, which saw one of the promotion's biggest names, Johnny Eblen, lose his middleweight title in shocking fashion to Costello Van Steenis. This card also saw Dakota Ditcheva put on a striking clinic on Sumiko Inaba, and A.J. McKee outpoint Akhmed Magomedov, among other results. We recap the PFL's trip to Cape Town.
The news cycle never sleeps in MMA. This past week, Diego Sanchez was arrested for gun charges in New Mexico, Sean Strickland was suspended by the NAC for an out-of-competition incident with a fellow fighter, and a few fights were booked, including Toney Ferguson's boxing bout against Salt Papi. We react to some of the big headlines this past week.
Lastly, we look ahead to this Saturday's UFC on ABC 9 event in Abu Dhabi, which features a middleweight headliner between former UFC champion Robert Whittaker and Reinier de Ridder. We take a look at what's at stake in this bout and how it could affect the 185-pound division, plus each panelist shares their prediction for the outcome. We also highlight other prominent bouts on the card.

Caleb Williams shares homework assignments from Ben Johnson
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams knows he's got a lot of teaching and coaching coming from his new head coach Ben Johnson, and he's got homework on top of it all. Following his hiring back in January, Johnson discussed at length his plans to rebuild Williams from scratch and mold him into a winning, productive, franchise-quarterback. And he's wasted no time by giving him assignments to work on heading into training camp. Williams recently revealed his homework from his new head coach, and there wasn't just one of them. "Part of the homework is, some of it was footwork," Williams said. "Some of it was not necessarily homework but help and guideline the offseason. Get through the playbook, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, an hour each day, there's 24 hours a day, if you can't give up an hour or 30 minutes a day for the playbook, you probably shouldn't be in this position. It's just small things like that. Homework wise, it was mainly the footwork and some left, kind of short throws that I was missing, so I worked on those every single day that I threw. I also worked on my footwork every single day I was out there." Williams is clearly taking his new head coach very seriously and is buying in early on in the system for what they're trying to build together in their first year. The adjustments may come with some woes early on, but if Williams continues to put in the work, there should be significant improvements in his game throughout his sophomore season.

The NFL raked in $13.6 billion in revenue during the last fiscal year, according to an report. Each club, including the Cincinnati Bengals, received the same slice of that pie. The Packers, the only publicly-owned organization in the NFL, make an annual disclosure of their finances and some of the information was released to ESPN ahead of the Friday disclosure. That included that the Packers received $432.6 million as part of NFL revenue sharing, Rob Demovsky wrote. That also means the league shared more than $13 billion in revenue from the previous fiscal year, the ESPN report stated.
