Fans are convinced that Conor McGregor's coach John Kavanagh has confirmed the Irishman will coach on The Ultimate Fighter this year.
McGregor is expected to return to the UFC this year having not fought since breaking his leg in defeat by Dustin Poirier in July 2021. Talks of his return were bolstered when McGregor recently posted a picture of himself coaching on UFC reality TV show The Ultimate Fighter six years ago, confirming that he was recently offered the same gig for this year's season of the reality series.
The former two-weight champion has been linked with a whole host of potential opponents for his return outing including Michael Chandler, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal. It's expected that McGregor will fight the opponent who coaches the opposing team on The Ultimate Fighter if he does follow through with his second stint on the TV series and judging by Kavanagh's recent tweet, all signs point towards that.
