Conor McGregor would accept third stint as coach on The Ultimate Fighter

Conor McGregor would be open to coaching for a third time on the UFC's reality TV show The Ultimate Fighter.

McGregor, 34, recently finished filming for his second stint on the show by coaching against his soon-to-be opponent Michael Chandler. The UFC rivals are set to meet on December 16 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as McGregor will look to pick up his first win in over three years in the pivotal clash.

The former two-weight UFC champion first appeared on The Ultimate Fighter for season 22 in 2015, coaching against featherweight rival Urijah Faber. McGregor wanted to fight the American as a "warm-up" for his title fight against Jose Aldo, but UFC boss Dana White opted against making the fight. McGregor enjoyed coaching against Chandler for season 31 and admitted he would happily coach on the show "non-stop".
