Conor McGregor has explained he wanted to show his Ultimate Fighter prospects he is there for them by pushing Michael Chandler in the face.
The Irishman went 0-6 for the season last night as Chandler's veteran Kurt Holobaugh tapped out the Irishman's long-time friend and teammate Lee Hammond in a last-minute submission. McGregor then got into the octagon to console his pal, before getting into an heated confrontation with his rival which ended up getting physical.
Chandler has been critical of McGregor for his coaching throughout the show, and believes it shows a lack of interest to skip weigh-ins which he has done every episode thus far. But the Irishman feels that he has left his fighters in capable hands with his coaches including John Kavanagh, Owen Roddy, Cian Cowley and Phil Sutcliffe.
