Michael Chandler was ready to fight Conor McGregor after heated TUF face-off

Michael Chandler was ready to fight Conor McGregor after being pushed in the face when the pair got into an altercation on The Ultimate Fighter.

This week's episode of the reality show saw McGregor's close friend and No.1 seed Lee Hammond suffer an heart-breaking defeat to Kurt Holobaugh after dominating the two rounds. The devastated Irishman fell to his knees after the fight, before getting into the octagon to console his pal.

However, things turned ugly when he and Chandler began to get into it, with McGregor taking issue with his rival's insistence that he wasn't don't enough for his team. The former two-weight world champion had reportedly been skipping morning training sessions, and wasn't present for Hammond's weigh-in.
