One of Conor McGregor's Ultimate Fighter contestants has declared the UFC legend missed "a lot" of training sessions while filming the show earlier this year.
Aaron McKenzie was defeated on week three of the show by Austin Hubbard in a vicious two-round fight which saw him end up in hospital as Team McGregor continued their losing streak. The American put up a solid fight on the feet early and was doing well in the opening round before Hubbard found his distance and almost stopped the fight with ground-and-pound and won the second.
And McKenzie has admitted he didn't see much of his head coach at morning training sessions, despite McGregor making a big effort to make it out for evening ones. Instead, much of the coaching was done by the likes of John Kavanagh, Owen Roddy, Phil Sutcliffe and Cian Cowley among others.
