Conor McGregor has been handed another setback in his journey as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF 31).
Last week, the opening episode showed McGregor sounding off at rival coach and potential next opponent Michael Chandler. ‘Notorious’ is coaching two teams of MMA prospects looking to earn a UFC contract, while Chandler is in charge of eight fighters that are working to earn their way back into the promotion.
McGregor would have been hoping to bounce back after seeing one of his prospects eliminated via a quick-fire KO in the first fight of the series. This week’s episode saw McGregor’s number one-ranked bantamweight Mando Gutierrez face UFC veteran Cody Gibson.
