Conor McGregor has this week suffered his second defeat knockout defeat within a round as a head coach on The Ultimate Fighter opposite Michael Chandler.
The Irishman is returning to the UFC octagon later this year, and has begun promotion for his comeback by coaching against his opponent Chandler on the famed reality show. But as of this week's sophomore episode, he has yet to even get a fighter out of the opening round after suffering another stoppage loss.
McGregor is training two teams of prospects trying to earn UFC contracts at bantamweight and lightweight, while Chandler has a squad of veterans who have competed in the octagon before. And this week, after Trevor Wells and Timur Valiev's fight was cancelled due to a cold sore, the Irishman's top 135lb seed Mando Gutierrez took on Chandler's No.4 Cody Gibson.
