Things got testy between Conor
McGregor and Michael
Chandler on the lastest episode of “The Ultimate Fighter
31.”
After Lee Hammond
lost to Kurt
Holobaugh to drop Team McGregor to 0-6, the two coaches entered
the cage for a heated confrontation where McGregor shoved Chandler
in the face. That prompted UFC president Dana White to rush into
the cage to separate the two coaches.
McGregor uploaded a voice message to Twitter mocking Chandler’s
remarks in the cage shortly after Tuesday’s episode aired.
“‘Oh, we’re gonna do this,’” McGregor said. “‘We’re gonna fight
right now? We’re gonna fight right now? We’re gonna do this? We’re
gonna fight right now?’”

McGregor and Chandler are supposed to square off sometime after
“TUF 31” concludes. Uncertainty surrounds their proposed bout,
however, as there is no evidence of McGregor entering the USADA
drug testing pool, and the Irish star is also facing
sexual assault allegations stemming from his appearance at a
Miami Heat game in June. The former two-division champion hasn’t
competed since July 2021, when he broke his leg in a loss to
Dustin
Poirier at UFC 264.
