SBG Ireland head coach John Kavanagh likes the Michael Chandler fight for Conor McGregor.
McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) and Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) will coach “The Ultimate Fighter 31” and are expected to fight after the show airs. It debuts May 30 on ESPN and ESPN+, with the conclusion of the season set for Aug. 15 after weekly episodes air on Tuesdays.
Kavanagh sees similarities in Chandler’s style with Chad Mendes, whom McGregor TKO’d in 2015 to capture the interim featherweight title at UFC 189.
