Conor McGregor is still without a win on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter as his fighter Trevor Wells lost a unanimous decision to Timur Valiev in the latest episode.
McGregor's team of prospects are still without a win four episodes into the season as Michael Chandler's group of veterans have won every fight so far. Wells faced a tough task going up against former UFC bantamweight Valiev, but he started the fight well by stunning his opponent with a left hand in the opening minute. The Russian veteran wasted no time in taking the fight to the mat as he secured a body-lock takedown and took the back of Wells.
Valiev showed he wasn’t just a grappler by narrowly missing with spinning attacks on the feet. Wells recognised he was likely down on the scorecards and came firing out of the blocks in the second stanza. The bantamweights were swinging it out on the feet and both landed some heavy punches. Valiev landed another takedown and controlled Wells for several minutes, but the American reversed position with a minute left.
